Fines de Claire No. 2 Oysters from David Hervé are matured in the renowned claires of the Marennes-Oléron basin. Offered in a basket of 24, these medium-large oysters are refined in saltwater ponds to enhance their flavor and shell quality, making them well-suited for premium raw bar presentations.

Detailed Information

Following ocean cultivation, these oysters are transferred to claires—shallow, clay-bottomed basins—for several weeks of finishing. This process enriches the oysters' flavor, giving them a balanced salinity and a clean, vegetal note with subtle nutty undertones. The No. 2 size provides a generous bite with a well-filled shell, appreciated for both its taste and visual presentation.
