Angasi Oysters
The Angasi oyster (Ostrea angasi) also commonly known as Flat oysters occur naturally along the entire coast of NSW and extend into southern Queensland as well as into all the southern states and Western Australia.
If the Pacific Oyster is the Sauvignon Blanc of oysters and the Rock Oyster is the Chardonnay, the Angassi is the Shiraz! Full flavoured and meaty, the Angassi is big, rich and extremely tasty. Sometimes called the flat or native oyster, it’s hard to come by, expensive and special, try them if you have the chance they are extraordinary!
