These are the same delicious oysters that I've been shucking every Saturday at the Neighbourgoods Market at the Old Biscuit Mill, since 2006.

Saldanha Bay oysters (Crassostrea gigas, or Pacific oyster) are sustainably farmed in the cold nutrient-rich waters of the Atlantic Ocean.

They are a fast-growing, tasty species, which have a unique rich, sweet flavour, benefiting from the Benguela Upswelling

I supply them with a mignonette sauce and a fresh lemon
