The exceptional super-special oyster
Pond-grown, four years in the making, born of Breton family craft. The finest on the counter.
The product
The exceptional oyster
Born of a long rearing and a singular growth, Ostra Regal is the finest on the counter.
Pearly, crisp flesh with a meat ratio around 17% — well beyond the “super-special” mark. On the palate, a rare balance of sweetness and iodine, with a hazelnut length. A round, teardrop shell, remarkably sturdy: it keeps, it shucks, it shows.

Craft
A singular four-step process
From the bays of Ireland to Cancale — four years of farming, then purification and shipping in Brittany.
Spat
Vendée
Spat
Vendée · Origin
It begins with rigorous genetic selection: the spat, cradle of the future Ostra Regal.
Grow-out
Ireland · Growth
In the lively, cold waters of Ireland, the oyster grows, firms up and finds its character.
Pond growth
Bannow Bay & Dundrum Bay · 8 months minimum
The signature gesture, on our beds of Bannow Bay (Ireland) and Dundrum Bay (Northern Ireland): pousse-en-conche refines the flesh, sculpts the shell and gives its inimitable taste.
Purification & shipping
Cancale, France · ≤ 2 weeks
Back to Brittany: in Cancale, the house purifies, selects under a strict specification and ships — the finishing touch of an exceptional French house.
The house
A Breton family
The Boutrais Family is, above all, a family. From Saint-Malo, we control every link: from spat selection to delivery at the chef's door. We don't chase volume, but quality partners — and the pleasure of knowing, in person, those who serve our oysters.
