About
DECADENCE DELIVERED TO YOUR DOOR
Oysters have long been one of the most pervasive symbols of opulence and wealth, but this hasn’t always been the case. As late as the 19th century oysters were cultivated and eaten by the working class, but as they grew in popularity, they became scarcer and more sought after. Today, Greenfish aims to, once again, make this delicacy more accessible to all South Africans. Our oysters are farmed off the west coast, which imparts the distinctive salty taste of wild oysters, but without the environmental impact.
CONTENTS
12 x Large Oysters (Approx. 76-90g per oyster)

Instructions
Your box will arrive fresh, simply store in your fridge and use at your leisure (up to 2 days). If you would like your oysters shucked, please specify this in your order notes. Our shucked oysters arrive with the lid on the oyster, to stop the juices leaking out during transit, all you need to do is release the abductor muscle that keeps the lid down. We take great care when opening oysters, but some with softer shells may have breaks. If you order shucked oysters, please consume them on day of delivery.

Sustainability
All our oysters are cultivated on the west coast of South Africa. Not only does this mean that wild oyster populations are not depleted, but since oysters are filter feeders, they improve water quality where they are farmed. Research has shown that this type of aquaculture also helps stabilise the beds and provides food for migratory birds.

South AfricaSuper fresh and clean and perfectly shucked!
South AfricaExcellent service, prompt delivery and very good quality, although fresh shell fish have extra work opening oysters and cleaning whole mussels. Overall very enjoyable.
South AfricaOrdering easy, delivery seamless. Fresh product, well packed. 5 star service and product.
South AfricaWe shared 24 oysters among 4 people and overall was absolutely delicious
South AfricaSuperb, shared with my farther in-law and will definitely continue to purchase this product.
South AfricaMost of the oysters were very good but one was really off. It was slightly open and smelled very bad.
South AfricaAbsolutely delicious, large ‘meaty’ oysters, that announced that they were freshly harvested with every taste. A huge spoil (we had six each). What a blessing to taste something so delicious.
South AfricaDelish, thanks a million :)
South AfricaExcellent Oysters and Kingklip! Fresh and top quality
South AfricaWonderful packaging and great delivery service. Wonderful flavour when served with shallots, vinegar and a touch of pickled ginger, but next time I'll order shucked as even with an oyster knife my husband managed to get bits of shell all over the floor. Have already recommended to our neighbourhood group.
South AfricaThey arrived as fresh as the moment they were harvested. Really tasty
