Dungarvan Shellfish Ltd (a sister company of Harty Oysters) was founded in 1985 in the scenic area of Dungarvan Bay in County Waterford. We were the very first company to grow oysters in our county. Jim Harty was a pioneer of Irish oysters as he was one of the first people in the country to recognise the potential for growing oysters in the Celtic Sea.
Our oysters score highly in their salinity, sweetness and texture. They are both meaty and tender and have been described as a “dessert” oyster. They are well-balanced salty pistachios from the sea. Some of the oysters have a lovely citrusy note, with a subtle and clean cucumber finish.
