LIVE SHELLFISH - PLEASE ENJOY WITHIN 2/3 DAYS OF DELIVERY
Our fresh Cornish oysters are the finest, freshest local rock oysters you can buy online for home delivery. This Pacific species grows in abundance in Cornish waters and are full of flavour. Our oysters are provided daily by a specialist provider and their location is a closely guarded secret! Each oyster is £1.45, we recommend six oysters per person for a starter portion.
Oysters will only arrive live in the shells and unfortunately cannot be supplied shucked/cut out, and have a limited shelf life so should be enjoyed as soon as possible after delivery.
Not only are they delicious but oysters contain more zinc than any other food in the world. Zinc has a great number of health benefits including boosting brain-power, increasing tissue repair and boosting your metabolism. - Health & Nutrition

Our oyster source is a closely guarded secret! Our exclusive provider produces the finest oysters around, with by far the best flavour and texture.
All molluscs are depurated to ensure they are full of flavour and safe to eat. Depuration is the process where, over a given period of time (normally 42 hours), shellfish are contained in salt water tanks, with the water pumped over ultraviolet light to reduce any bacteria that may be present within the animal to the lowest levels possible. This process is monitored by Environmental Health Officers and DEFRA.

Storage & Preparation
Store live shellfish in the salad drawer of your refridgerator and cover with a damp teatowel. Do not immerse shellfish in water. Live shellfish has a limited shelf life - consume as soon as possible from day of delivery. Do not keep for longer than 2 days. Although all shellfish goes through the correct cleaning process there will always be a slight risk of food poisoning.
