In Camargue Camargue Oysters

The Camargue oyster is produced in Anse de Carteau, an environment that lives in a semi-lagoon state. This site, which has traditionally been used for mussel production since the 1980s, obtained authorization to produce oysters after a crazy gamble and four years of evaluation and reflection tests. The first production saw the light in October 2016.

Their objective is to market 1,500 tonnes of Camargue oysters per year, ie 10% of regional production and 1% of national production. This new shell "made in the Mediterranean" will complement the productions already coming from the Thau lagoon in Languedoc-Roussillon.

The suspension culture technique is the same as we use in the Thau Basin.

This technique consists of gluing the oysters one by one on strings to obtain an oyster of regular shape with a higher flesh rate.
