Christmas oysters: ordering for Christmas and New Year's Eve

For Christmas and New Year, your Ostra Regal oysters are delivered to your door on the day you choose. The dates to remember, and a few pointers to choose well.

The dates to remember for the festive dinners

During the festive season, order at least four days before your preferred delivery date: by 20 December at the latest for delivery on the 24th, by 27 December at the latest for the 31st.

The festive season is a very busy time for express deliveries: ordering early is how you make sure of delivery on the planned day. When you order, the shop calendar flags the busiest days and suggests a recommended delivery day.

25 December and 1 January are public holidays: there is no delivery on those days, nor on the day after, 26 December and 2 January.

Home delivery or collection

The online shop delivers to your home across mainland France, excluding Corsica, on the day you choose. The price shown includes delivery; your oysters travel in a weighted basket, under a cold chain.

Near Saint-Malo? You can also collect your order from the house, at Les Nielles (Saint-Méloir-des-Ondes), or at the Rocabey and Saint-Servan markets in Saint-Malo. Choose collection when you order: the available days are shown.

Which oysters for the festive season?

Ostra Regal, the signature of the house: plump, crisp, a rare balance of sweetness and brine, hazelnut finish. For an exceptional table, Sélection Or brings together the finest pieces, sorted one by one.

For the aperitif, Amulette: a small, remarkably plump oyster, made to go round among your guests. For long tables, La Céline, our fine oyster: honest, with a clean brine that wins everyone over.

For lovers of brine, Sentinelle, with its assertive marine character. And Huîtres de Cancale, our own production: fine, lively, distinctly briny.

Every range, with its sizes and prices, is in the shop: www.ostraregal.com/commander. To understand what makes the price of a premium oyster: www.ostraregal.com/prix-huitres-premium

Opening and serving

Opening an oyster takes a knife with a short, rigid blade, a protected hand and a steady gesture. Our step-by-step guide: www.ostraregal.com/comment-ouvrir-une-huitre

Serve the oysters well chilled on ice, plain or with a squeeze of lemon. For pairings, our article on wine and oysters: www.ostraregal.com/journal/accords-vins-huitres
