Bluff Oysters in New Zealand 2025

Oyster lovers will appreciate particularly succulent, fishy and almost metallic-flavored Bluff Oyster

Best time: March–August

Small New Zealand's town Bluff is famous for its exceptionally palatable oysters. They are far better than commonly known Pacific oysters as they are more succulent and have a more intense fishy taste similar to a metallic flavour. It may be eaten raw with a dash of lemon, or fried in a thin layer of flour. Their exclusive taste corresponds to the price. The delicacy is available during New Zealand's lobster season, which falls on autumn and winter months.​​
