The Fine de Claire N°3 Oyster by David Hervé is a Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) matured in French claires and offered individually by piece. Graded as N°3, this size is commonly preferred for its balance between shell volume and meat content, suitable for both raw consumption and culinary use.

Detailed Information
After initial cultivation, these oysters are refined in shallow salt ponds known as “claires” in the Marennes-Oléron basin, enhancing their texture and flavor. The process enriches the oyster with subtle vegetal and marine notes, a moderately firm texture, and a delicate briny finish. The N°3 grading indicates a medium-sized oyster ideal for standard oyster service.
