THE FISHERY

As you may have noticed the price of our Canadian Lobsters is a bit more than usual so we thought we should explain why.

It is with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to our Native Oysters for the summer. The oysters have decided to get ready for spatting early this year...

Here at the Fishery we grow two types of oysters, Native and Rock or to give them their proper names Ostrea Edulis and Crassostrea Gigas...

Three years ago we invested in millions of tiny native oyster spat to regenerate our native oyster beds the oysters are doing well but it takes time and patience...

In one word... sustainability.

We have added a new range of caviar to our store, we have been selling caviar to our restaurant customers for some time and thought it was time we shared them with you too. 

I can't believe it has taken us so long to catch on to manzanilla, this dry fino sherry, was made to be enjoyed with oysters.

Graham opens thousands of oysters every year so we thought he would be the best person to show you how to open an oyster at home, safely and successfully!

Here at the Colchester Oyster Fishery, we grow and harvest our own oysters from the rivers and creeks surrounding the Fishery in East Mersea.

As we deliver to restaurants and the fish markets 6 nights a week, our delivery vans soon clock up a lot of miles...
