Tasting Notes The taste of an individual oyster very much reflects the landscape in which it is grown and the variety of environments from open sea sites to bays and long sea lochs with lower salt levels. The flavour can range from salty on the exposed Atlantic coast to almost sweet where there are high volumes of fresh water run off due to rainfall. To eat "au naturel" add lemon juice, vinegar seasoning or Tabasco sauce. Chew two or three times before swallowing or not if you prefer - each to their own!
