Quebec Oysters: A Pleasure to Enjoy All Year Round!
Oysters reared at sea with care
Day after day, the valiant Trésor du Large’s team goes out to sea to offer throughout Quebec the freshest oysters available. Depending on the size desired, each farmed oyster can take three years or more to grow to maturity and be ready to be picked and then savoured.
What makes oysters from the Magdalen Islands special is their raising place. Unlike oyster aquaculture carried out in a bay, oyster farming in the high seas, where the water is very cold, gives them a distinctive taste of high purity and moderately salty, as well as a texture nicely fleshy. The result: you really have the impression of tasting the sea. But the best part about it is that you can eat Quebec oysters all year round.
From the boat… to you!
Once harvested, the live oysters are sorted by size, then placed by hand, one by one, into boxes.
Then, the oysters are refrigerated at a temperature between zero and four degrees Celsius, until they reach their destination. Good to know: they can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a month, from the pick-up date on the label.
Enjoy preparing them in your own way
Although Quebec oysters can be enjoyed raw, no doubt you will want to put your professional touch in order to surprise the taste buds of your customers in a delicious way. To this end, Trésor du large suggests its homemade recipe that you can reinvent according to your inspirations.
