mersea island oysters

Nine generations. One island. Extraordinary oysters.

Since the 1700s, the Haward family has cultivated native oysters in the creeks of Mersea Island — the same waters, the same tides, nearly 300 years of knowledge passed down one generation to the next. The result is an oyster with real character: plump, briny, and clean-finishing, shaped by wild Essex water rather than rushed by anyone. It's history you can taste.
