The Creuse Oyster

The special creuse oyster from Isigny is a unique and extremely delicious oyster that the majority of gourmets will find tantalising.

Spat and oyster farming

The young oysters called spat are reared inside rigid mesh cages on our oyster farms. After about 18 months, the cages are placed upright on oyster tables so as to ensure optimal growth.
 

Fed on plankton from the bay of Isigny, they continue to grow and are therefore regularly transferred to different cages. They are checked, sorted and graded beforehand.
 

Grading oysters

Upon reaching maturity, the oysters we sell are graded according to the following criteria:

• No. 1: 111 g to 150 g 
• N° 2: 86g to 110g
• N° 3: 66g to 85g
• N° 4: 46g to 65g

Packing and shipping oysters

The oysters are then placed in baskets to be purified for at least 24 hours in water.

After that, some of the oysters are packed in baskets and some are packed for wholesale shipping.
