Bluff

"These itty bitty bivalves didn't earn cult-like international status for nothing. They pack a whole bunch of history, nutrition, and righteous tradition into a tiny package. A tiny, briny, sweet and singular package whose renowned flavor melts on your tongue like a buttery dream."

"Sweet, briny, and silky smooth, and served raw with a squeeze of lemon, battered and fried, or straight from the shell at the Bluff Oyster Festival, they're the taste of Southland distilled."

"They deliver a burst of intense, creamy salinity. This flavour speaks of wild tides, icy currents, and untouched southern waters. The oysters are carefully harvested, cleaned, and served with little fanfare—because they simply don't need it. Their natural brine is so rich that many locals insist they should be eaten completely unadorned."

"Strong, robust flavor with intense ocean brininess. Firmer and meatier than Pacific oysters. Bluff oysters are best enjoyed raw to truly appreciate their bold, salty taste — but they're also delicious lightly battered or grilled."

"They taste way different to the ones we have here the raw oysters up here these are actually a really sweet. Really enjoyed the flavor of these consider they're not scrape on the shell and they've been in a pennant for two or three days. These are very tasty. They have really nice flavor to them. The flavor is really sweet."

"Bluff oysters are rich, buttery, and intensely briny—often described as 'the Champagne of oysters.' Cold, nutrient-rich currents produce slow-growing oysters with legendary depth of flavor."
