The Oyster Fine de Claire N°4 by David Hervé is a Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) matured in the Marennes-Oléron basin on France’s Atlantic coast. Sold individually, the N°4 size is slightly smaller than the N°3, offering a more delicate bite with the same characteristic balance of salinity and freshness.

Detailed Information
These oysters are refined in "claires" — traditional clay ponds — for several weeks, which enhances their organoleptic profile and minimizes excess salinity. The N°4 classification denotes a lighter, more petite oyster with a fine shell and subtle flavor. Its flesh is tender with a clean marine finish and a crisp texture, ideal for raw presentation or use in minimalist dishes that highlight natural seafood character.
