The Oyster Fine de Claire N°1 by David Hervé is a Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) refined in the Marennes-Oléron basin, France. This individually sold N°1 grade represents one of the largest sizes in the Fine de Claire range, prized for its full texture and pronounced marine flavor.

Detailed Information
After ocean cultivation, these oysters undergo a refining phase in shallow clay ponds known as claires, which moderates salinity and enriches flavor. The N°1 classification indicates a substantial oyster with high flesh content. It offers a firm, meaty bite with a well-balanced briny profile and mineral complexity, suitable for raw consumption or seafood platters requiring visual and sensory impact.
