FAQs

Will I learn how to shuck oysters?

Yes! Guests are welcome to learn how to shuck their own oysters during the tasting experience. If you’re interested, simply let our team know when you arrive, and we’ll be happy to guide you through the process in a safe and enjoyable way.

Do you sell oysters?

Yes, we do. We sell Sydney Rock Oysters, Pacific Rock Oysters (when available), Australian Akoya Oysters and Native Angasi (when available). All are grown and freshly shucked at our very own pearl farm. Call ahead to ensure availability or if you would like unshucked oysters. We do not sell ice so please bring a cooler bag or esky, if travelling.

How many oysters will we have on the oyster tasting?

We serve six oysters as part of our tasting experience. Our focus is on showcasing a range of exceptional oyster varieties, so you’ll have the chance to explore more than just Sydney Rock oysters and enjoy a broader spectrum of flavours and textures.
