Information and news of Scottish oysters
Native oysters around the Scottish coastline are subject to great efforts to preserve the stocks,
amid growing fears over the declining oyster population.
The native or flat oyster (Ostrea edulis) is now a comparative rarity and has been overtaken by the farmed pacific oyster.
There are many factors attributed to their decline including overfishing and pollution.
There are still oyster populations on the west coast of Scotland, but it is vital the native oyster is preserved and stocks managed so numbers can recover. The fresh oysters sold here are sensitively harvested to sustain the numbers and maintain the ecosystem. We will add news and information on the position of the Scottish oyster stocks.
Oyster species vary around the world and therefore oysters come in a variety of shapes and sizes. The finest British oysters are called native or flat oysters. Other British oysters include rock oysters. Native oysters are available from September to April, though native oysters are best when the sea is colder from late October to late February. Pacific oysters are available throught the year. You should scrub the oyster shells well before opening. To open the oyster shell - which is called shucking - it is best to use an oyster knife. Any oysters that have an unpleasant smell must be thrown away. Native oysters are usually eaten raw and should be eaten as soon as possible after removal from the sea. These are delivered the following day so they are perfect oysters.
Shucking oysters
It is best to use an oyster knife as a normal kitchen knife could be dangerous but if you don't have an oyster knife then try a small, sharp kitchen knife instead. Firstly grip the oyster firmly with a dishcloth. Then insert an oyster knife into the hinged edge and open by twisting. Hold the oyster shell firmly while you run the oyster knife along the inside of the upper shell. This cuts the muscle attached to the shell. Take off the top shell of the oyster, and be careful not to spill the liquid. Finally slide the knife under the oyster to cut the second muscle on the bottom shell. You have now finished shucking oysters!
