We recommend first trying Albany Rock Oysters raw and natural to appreciate the unique flavour profile. After that anything goes and it is all down to personal preference. Some people like just a squeeze of lemon or a classic mignonette while others get creative with innovative toppings. Whatever you do, don't forget to chew the oyster to get the full depth of flavour.
Our team are out on the water all year round and are constantly monitoring the condition of our Albany Rock Oysters. This involves visually inspecting the shell and the meat to ensure the oysters are in optimal condition. We are looking for a plump, juicy oyster inside with a good meat to shell ratio.

We do recommend you check your oysters periodically and discard any individual rock oysters that are open or look dry when shucked as this indicates the oyster has perished.
Albany Rock Oysters are best served freshly shucked and for optimal eating experience we recommend chilling them for 30 mins before serving. Once shucked, keep covered below 4°C and consume within 48 hours.
