The briny freshness of the Breton coast for your buffets and platters. The Brittany oyster, selected by Atelier Marée de Le Delas, embodies all the vigour and purity of the Armorican coast. Farmed in the open sea, it benefits from powerful currents that give it a wild character and a distinctly briny flavour. Size No. 4 corresponds to a medium to small oyster, particularly prized for its delicacy and firm texture. This 15 kg basket format is ideal for catering professionals, oyster shuckers and event caterers requiring large volumes and consistent quality. Professional uses, preparation and storage: ► Culinary applications: Thanks to its size 4, this oyster is perfect for enjoying raw on a seafood platter, accompanied by shallot vinegar or a simple squeeze of lemon. Its size also makes it ideal for canapés at cocktail receptions or for creative cold dishes, such as a sea water and cucumber jelly. Its flesh is firm and offers a lingering finish characteristic of Breton oysters. ► Preparation: For easy opening and optimal safety, use a suitable oyster knife and protect your hand with a mesh glove. It is advisable to discard the first batch of brine after opening; the oyster will secrete a second, purer and more flavourful one, ready for tasting. Ensure the oysters are presented on a bed of crushed ice or fresh seaweed to maintain their temperature and appearance. ► Storage: A live product that must be stored at a temperature between +5°C and +10°C, away from light. Keep the oysters flat, with the rounded side facing downwards, ideally in their original, tightly sealed basket to retain their intertidal water.

Raised along the Breton coast, they benefit from constant circulation by the waters of the Atlantic, giving them firm flesh and a distinctly briny flavour. Size No. 4 refers to a medium-sized oyster, particularly well-balanced, offering a lively and refreshing taste.

Professional uses, preparation and storage: ► Culinary applications: Thanks to their size 4, these oysters are ideal for classic seafood platters, oyster bars or ‘oyster bar' events at receptions. Their delicate flavour also lends itself to creative culinary uses: served as an appetiser with a squeeze of lime, set in a sea water jelly, or presented as a ‘seaside shot' with a seaweed tartare. ► Preparation: To ensure safety and customer satisfaction, the oysters must be shucked using a suitable oyster knife, ideally shortly before serving.

Present them on a bed of crushed ice or coarse salt for optimal stability and freshness at the table. ► Storage: A live product that must be stored between +5°C and +10°C, away from light.
