Luxury that fits in a tin, in our collection of canned oysters

A fresh oyster has to be opened, served on the spot and eaten with a certain ceremony. In a tin it comes already shucked, ready and with no tools needed, making it the most accessible luxury bite you can keep in the pantry. Here you will find oysters natural, smoked, in escabeche or in vinaigrette.

Canning changes the oyster

It is worth knowing before you order. A tinned oyster does not taste the same as a fresh one: it loses the raw, briny edge of the live shellfish and gains body, concentration and a firmer texture. It is not worse, it is something else. Anyone looking for the experience of a raw oyster will not find it here; anyone looking for an intense, iodine-rich bite for a toast will.

Choose your preparation

• Natural: the version closest to the product, in its own juice. To appreciate the oyster with nothing in between.
• Smoked: smoke pairs very well with iodine and softens the intensity. Usually in olive or sunflower oil.
• In escabeche or vinaigrette: the vinegar cuts the richness and lengthens the bite. The easiest version for beginners.

Before serving

Cool, between 10 and 12 ºC, like the rest of the shellfish. On rye bread or a thin toast, with a squeeze of lemon if they are natural. With a dry sparkling wine, an albariño or a white with lively acidity.
