🦪 TASMANIAN PACIFIC OYSTERS | PITT WATER
Chefs, put the growing region on the menu.
Farmed in Tasmania’s south-east, behind Five Mile Beach, Pitt Water Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas) offer delicate salinity, upfront sweetness and a silky texture, with notes of cucumber, green melon and seagrass.
Pitt Water is their growing region; Pacific is their species. That sense of place gives your team a story to share with every dozen.
On the pass? Shuck fresh, retain the natural liquor and taste before dressing. Try a restrained cucumber mignonette or a little lemon to let the oyster’s sweetness shine.
For a warm option, flash under the grill with herb butter—keeping the flesh tender.
