Oysters in Cancale — Ostra Regal, the exceptional oyster

In Cancale, the oyster capital, the Boutrais family purifies, selects and ships Ostra Regal under a strict specification. The house, as close to the tide as possible.

Ostra Regal in Cancale

Cancale is the home port of the Boutrais family: it is here, in our workshop, that oysters are purified, controlled under a strict specification, then shipped. Ostra Regal itself is grown on our Irish beds (Dundrum Bay, Bannow Bay) — Cancale is not the farming site but the heart of the craft and of shipping.

Ostra Regal is the Boutrais family's premium selection: a cupped oyster farmed for four years on the beds of Ireland (Dundrum Bay, Bannow Bay), including a low-density pousse-en-conche phase, refined in claires, then purified and shipped from Cancale. Plump flesh, clean iodine, a sweet-briny balance that makes it a recognisable signature on the finest tables of Cancale.

Pairings: oysters & wine in Cancale

In Cancale the classic pairing is Muscadet-Sèvre-et-Maine sur lie, but a dry Breton farmhouse cider also elevates the iodine. Purists will choose Chablis or a brut nature champagne.

Serve the oysters well chilled on ice, plain or with a squeeze of lemon so nothing is masked. Explore our range of crus and the farming process to choose the grade that fits your service.
