• Rare find
• Uniquely sourced 4 miles from Cadiz in lantern nets

Raised in the pristine Atlantic waters off Cádiz, Spain, MarConil Spanish Oysters offer a rare taste of premium European oyster culture in the United States, available exclusively through Browne Trading Company.

Farmed in lantern nets approximately four miles offshore, these 60–80 gram oysters feed predominantly on naturally occurring plankton, contributing to their distinctive green hue and pronounced oceanic character. Plump and meaty with a firm bite, MarConil Spanish Oysters deliver bold brininess balanced by subtle sweetness, lingering minerality, and a clean, refined finish.

Distinct from our seasonal Maine oysters, which are raised in tidal rivers, MarConil Spanish Oysters are more reminiscent of Belon oysters in both flavor and texture. Their rugged shells, often naturally marked with barnacles, reflect their open-ocean growing environment.

Their consistency, substantial size, and distinctive flavor make them an exceptional choice for raw bars, seafood towers, tasting menus, or simply serving chilled on the half shell.

Preparation Note: Due to their naturally rugged shells, we recommend scrubbing the oysters thoroughly before shucking. These oysters have a naturally high salinity, so we also recommend discarding the liquor before serving.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION/CARE: Product is live. Discard oysters that have broken or still remain open after pressing on their shell. Store in fridge, covered in damp towels, preferably so they lie flat. DO NOT store in fresh water or ice. Do not store in airtight plastic containers or bags. Best when prepared the day of arrival, oysters will live up to 1 week in the fridge.

Suggested serving sizes: 6-12 oysters per person.
