Ostra Regal, the story of a selection

From our Irish beds to the chef's table: the Boutrais family's approach.

A family, a standard

Ostra Regal is neither a single bed nor a single origin: it is a selection, a specification — four years of age, pousse-en-conche, refining in claires, hand sorting. Every oyster must be plump, consistent, with clean iodine.
