Coffin Bay King Oysters

Coffin Bay king oyster is a Pacific oyster of an impressive size hailing from the pristine waters of South Australia’s Coffin Bay. Unlike most oysters which are typically grown for about 18 months, these oysters are allowed to grow for up to 6 or 7 years.

The extended growth period contributes to the oysters’ distinctive size, texture, and flavor, yielding shellfish of premium quality. When shucked, the giant-sized oyster shell reveals a large piece of flesh on the inside that's often ten times meatier than that of a normal-sized oyster.

The meat is firm, yet tender and juicy, while the flavor is sweet and complex with a crisp saltiness and an intense, oceanic, lingering finish. Often featured among the world’s most expensive food items, these oysters are best enjoyed as they are, with an optional squeeze of lemon or lime juice.
