What is it about Tasmania?
Tasmania is an archipelago of more than 300 islands sitting just
240 kilometres (150 miles) south-east of mainland Australia.
We have more than 1,000 mountain peaks, four mild seasons,
more than 40 per cent of our Island is protected as national parks
and reserves, and we have some of the world’s rarest animals.
The Roaring Forty winds that travel across our island bring with
them the cleanest air in the world, our soils are rich and fertile;
all this is proof that Tasmania has been truly blessed by nature.
Tasmanian shellfish are the finest in the Australian market. Their
distinctive full-bodied flavour is complimented
by alluring colours and aromas. We now
invite you to discover the freshest oysters
from the most pristine waters in all of the
world… this is the real taste of Tasmania,
fresh from the edge of the world.

Blackman Bay - Dunalley
Duck Bay - Smithton
Surrounded by some of Tasmanian’s pristine white beaches and situated
on the East Coast with direct access to the crystal clear, most pure oceanic
waters of the Pacific Ocean. The product from this bay has a white flesh,
clean shells and a subtle combination flavour of sweetness and saltiness
which leaves a clean, crisp taste on the pallet.
Smithton has some of the highest rainfall in Southern Australia,
providing a constant supply of nutrient rich water all year round. Located
on Tasmania’s stormy North West Coast, Duck Bay has a reputation for
providing high quality product in November to April when supply is
normally scarce throughout Australia. These oysters have a large sweet
abductor muscle with white flesh.
Pitt Water, Barilla Bay & Island Inlet
The Pitt Water catchment was the first area to grow Pacific Oysters in
Australia in 1946. The product from this region has a saltier flavour and is
well known for the shape and consistency through the batches. These farms
have their annual spawning earlier than other regions and normally peak
in condition between August and January. Good numbers of non spawning
triploid oysters have also been sown down, enabling production year round.
