Live UK Rock Oyster 12 pcs 活英国生蚝一打

The rock oyster (Crassostrea gigas)grows wild in the River Blackwater and is available to buy all year round. These UK oysters are almost rock-like in shape and, because they filter a lot more water than their Native counterpart, is saltier in flavor.

Determining the freshness and safety of rock oysters is crucial before consumption. A live oyster will have a tightly closed shell or will slightly close when tapped; this is a good sign that it's alive and safe to eat. If the oyster shell is open and does not close when tapped or prodded, it's likely dead and could harbor harmful bacteria, making it unsafe for consumption. Furthermore, upon shucking, if the oyster's flesh has an unpleasant or sour smell, or if it's discolored and dry, it is not fresh and should not be eaten. Fresh, safe oysters will have a clean, briny, sea-like aroma and moist appearance.

With 12 pieces in each 1kg pack, these oysters are perfect for gatherings. Share them with friends or family and let everyone partake in the experience of diving into these delectable mollusks. It's not just about the taste; it's about the moments and memories you create while savoring them.
