Maldon Oysters

Using the latest techniques science can offer, we produce some of the UK’s finest oysters. Like farmers and fishermen combined, we obsess over the timeless oystermans’ art of nurturing, hand-picking and hand-grading our oysters. However, this natural and sustainable approach is married with an unrivalled, state-of-the-art oyster depuration process. Maldon Oysters are carefully nurtured over a period of years until they are ready for our customers. Our ethos ensures that our oysters are of the best quality available. It is an ethos of impeccable quality control. We have the stock and scale to ensure that there is never a need to rush. The majority of the oysters we grow on our beds in Essex are Rock Oysters (Gigas). This oyster is known for its deep cupped shell and smooth and meaty texture. They are often described as having a rich but not overbearing flavour with a sweet aftertaste. Each oyster will pass through the hands of our team over half a dozen times before it is deemed ready to harvest. We hand turn, split and soft-grade the oysters, waiting patiently for each oyster to reach the perfect shape and size. While we embrace everything that technology has to offer in our innovative depuration process, when it comes to growing and cultivating our oysters, traditional methods and a hands-on approach have served us well.
