Live Oysters Fine de Claire

Looking for Oysters in Hong Kong? Our Fine de Claire Oysters, directly coming from the Marennes d’Oleron French Region, are the French most popular oysters and will fit every palate.

They are for those who prefer less fleshy oysters. These oysters are finished for several weeks in shallow clay ponds where they acquire a superior quality shell to oysters grown in the open sea. It is during this process that the claires of the Marennes d’Oléron basin impart the subtleties of regional flavours. These oysters are particularly appreciated by people who prefers an oyster rich in water and balanced in flavour.

How to serve and shuck an oyster?

Start by sorting through your oysters, they all should be tightly closed. Those that are open and will not close when tapped on a hard surface need to be discarded. Open them following the following video tutorials. Remove the first water juice just after the opening which is only composed of sea water. The oyster will recreate a second one much more flavourful.  Serve the oysters immediately. Putting them on ice bed would hide some flavours.
