About Fresh Fine de Claire Oysters
This is the favourite product for consumers who prefer a less fleshy oyster. They mature for several weeks in the ponds - this enables them to strengthen their shells unlike those raised in the sea. It’s during this period that the unique taste will be acquired in addition to its brine flavour. It is a light oyster, well balanced in flavour and rich in water.
The “fine de claire” has a homogenous shape, is not fleshy, its “coat” is translucent and its gills green or white; the taste has a good balance of salt and local “terroir”; the consistency is slightly soft and length in the mouth is short.
You will receive 12 Oysters.
Fresh Fine de Claire Oysters
With no more fresh fish markets now until after the bank holiday, the work doesn’t stop here in Brixham. The fleet will continue to fish through the weekend and we’ll be keeping a close eye on the landings as the boats come and go from the harbour.
Our buyers will be watching the market carefully, ready to step in and select the very best fish as it appears. It’s one of the great rhythms of the quay, and something we never take for granted.
The first fresh market will be back on Wednesday 8th, with all orders placed between now and then delivered that day. We look forward to bringing you another round of exceptional seafood, straight from the boats to your kitchen.
Carpe piscem!
