A taste of luxury at Harrods

The famous Fish Hall will be offering a complete taste of the sea at the revamped Oyster bar in Harrods. In association with Caviar House and Prunier, the new bar will offer a gourmand’s selection of the finest seasonal oysters available, as well as a selection of seafood platters and caviar.

Oysters will be sourced from around the world, including:

Fines de Claires
A superior rock oyster that has been cultivated in a ‘Claire’ with a low density of stock and higher salinity levels.

Mediterranean
A rock oyster cultivated in the Mediterranean near Montpelier.

Portland Royals
Large rock oysters grown in small quantities in Portland: whole beds have been grubbed and reseeded to produce the larger Royals, and slightly smaller Princesses.

Loch Ryans
At the beginning of the last century, these Scottish oyster beds were a prolific producer of native oysters. These beds have now been rediscovered and restored to produce a fantastic oyster.

Falmouth Oysters
Falmouth Bay Oysters are caught by local fisherman in traditional sailing boats. Fishing methods have changed little since Roman times. Unlike the more commonly available farmed Pacific oyster, Falmouth Bay Oysters are taken from the natural sea bed, giving them a much fuller flavour.

Because these oysters live and breed naturally in local Cornish waters they can only be caught between September and April.

Apart from offering a wide selection of oysters in their pure form, customers will also be able to choose from a variety of innovative and delicious toppings, including Bloody Mary, Lemon sorbet and a spritz of Grappa.

Prices start from £16 for 6 oysters. The bar will be open from 11am to 8pm.
