Oysters: you love 'em or you hate 'em. Like the de Nederlandse Oestervereniging, we belong to the first group. Therefore, we were delighted to organize a tasteful press event for them around the first Zeeland oysters of the season.
The day began with a tour of Roem van Yerseke, the only shellfish hatchery in the Netherlands. Here, oyster larvae are reared into baby oysters. This was followed by a boat trip to the plots on the Oosterschelde. Growers told the press about the intensive work of harvesting oysters and fished up the first specimens of the season. These were immediately poked open and tasted on the boat.
Back on land, chef Thijs Meliefste of star restaurant Meliefste and chef Laurent Law of Amuzee provided a delicious lunch with this salty delicacy. An ideal end to the day and an equally ideal beginning of the oyster season.
Terug aan land zorgden chef Thijs Meliefste van sterrenrestaurant Meliefste en chef Laurent Law van Amuzee voor een lekkere lunch met deze zilte delicatesse. Een ideale afsluiter van de dag en een al even ideaal begin van het oesterseizoen.
