The Portland Oyster beds’ location in front of the Crab House Cafe means diners can have mouth-watering Oysters on the table within minutes of leaving the water.
We use new and innovative Australian Oyster Growing Systems with mesh baskets and timber post and rail rows.
There have been Oysters in the fleet since Roman times. The native oyster, OSTREA EDULIS, has been prized throughout the history and was the Oyster of choice until recently when disease, over fishing and pollution seriously depleted the wild stocks. The more robust Pacific Oyster CRASSOSTREA GIGAS has since taken place in the market place and is the preferred Oyster for cultivation worldwide.
