Fine de Claire N°3 Oysters by Tessier, distributed by Gourmet de Paris, are refined French oysters matured in shallow salt ponds (“claires”) in the Marennes-Oléron basin. Supplied in boxes of 36 pieces, they are prized for their balanced salinity and clean, mineral finish.

Detailed Information
These oysters are cultivated along the French Atlantic coast and undergo an additional maturing phase in "claire" basins, where they develop a more refined texture and flavor. Graded N°3, they have a medium size, averaging 66–85g per oyster. The meat is tender and slightly briny, with vegetal and nutty undertones. This finishing process enhances shell cleanliness and gives the oysters their signature greenish gill hue (when Navicula algae is present).
