David Hervé’s Fines de Claire No. 2 Oysters are matured in the claires of Marennes-Oléron, renowned for producing oysters with a clean, briny character and refined finish. Offered in a 96-piece basket, this format is ideal for professional kitchens and seafood counters with high-volume needs.

Detailed Information

These oysters are initially grown at sea before undergoing a traditional finishing process in shallow, clay-lined saltwater ponds known as claires. This maturation enhances the oysters' shell strength, flavor complexity, and meat quality. No. 2 oysters offer a substantial size with a well-filled shell, delivering a flavor profile marked by marine freshness and mild vegetal notes with a hint of nuttiness.
