Description

Cupped oyster farmed in Carlingford. The particular location of the site, in a bay opening out into the Irish Sea, almost opposite the Isle of Man, is characterised by high tidal elevations. This ensures the development of a voluminous callus, with which the oyster holds its shell tightly during the long hours of exposure to the air. This, combined with the characteristic traits of Irish oysters such as distinct sweetness and high fleshiness due to the rich waters of the Gulf Stream, which mix with the river waters flowing into the bay, give a unique flavour, curiously very similar to that of the scallop.
