Rock oysters are the deep-cupped oysters available all year, with a plump, silky body and a clean, briny flavour that finishes faintly sweet, with a hint of cucumber. They run milder and meatier than native oysters.
We sell them by the half dozen and dozen at the Barnes counter and will open them for you on request, or leave them closed to shuck at home, where they keep cold in the fridge for a few days cup-side down.
Serve them cold on the half shell with lemon, Tabasco or a shallot and red wine vinegar mignonette. To cook them, grill with garlic butter and breadcrumbs for three to five minutes until the edges curl.
Cut to order
Tell us how you want it in the order notes. Filleting, pin-boning and skinning are free, by hand at the counter. If you ask for a fish to be trimmed, headed or skinned, the finished weight comes down accordingly.
Delivery and collection
Order by 1pm for next-day delivery across London and the UK. Same-day collection in Barnes, usually about two hours.
Our promise
If it is not right, we make it right. Tell us and we will sort it. Local customers can bring it back to the counter and we will replace it.
