Native European oysters that are certified as sustainable have gone on sale for the first time in the UK.
The shellfish have been certified by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) and are being sold on fresh fish counters at branches of Whole Foods Market. They are supplied by Southbank Fresh Fish, which provides many of London’s top restaurants with sustainable seafood.
Unlike rock oysters, which are available year-round, native oysters are typically only available from September to April and are considered by many to be fuller-flavoured, making them a prized delicacy at £1.50 each.
