Our Oysters

Premium Clevedon Coast Oysters have been grown in the clean, clear waters of New Zealand’s Hauraki Gulf since 1986.
We cultivate, harvest and process only the juciest, ripest oysters from our two farming areas on the Clevedon Coast and Waiheke Island.

Our oysters are:

Naturally grown in USFDA certified waters in the Hauraki Gulf
Waters tested weekly for contamination and toxic algae blooms
Processed in MAF approved premises

When landed, we carefully select oysters that meet or exceed export specifications before distributing them to locations at home in New Zealand and all over the world. Growing waters are approved under the United States Food and Drug Administration standards and the New Zealand government National Shellfish Sanitation Programme.

Our commitment at Clevedon Coast to a completely natural oyster is a long term philosophy. We take great pride in being recognised as an international leader in the production of natural oysters.

Growing our oysters

Oyster Products
