Menai Oysters, located on the Anglesey side of the stunningly scenic and environmentally protected Menai Strait in North Wales, are cultivated with a unique sense of harmony to their natural surroundings. The tide-churned waters give shellfish grown here an unmistakable flavour that only this bountiful estuary can provide - an exquisite 'merroir' unlike any other!
Conwy Mussels
Experience a taste sensation like no other with Conwy mussels! These hand-raked molluscs are prized for their striking visual appearance and succulent, juicy meat. Each one is oval in shape with an eye-catching mix of shell colors that reflect the unique environment they inhabit - where fresh river water melds together with salty sea waters around North Wales' Conwy Estuary from September to April each year. The texture has been described as chewy while its distinctive flavour comes from blending garlic, white wine, bacon or chilli into pastas dishes – Yum! So why not try some today?
Anglesey Sea Salt
Halen môn is the purest of salts, emerging from the clean seas that lap against Anglesey's shore. Unrefined and without additives, this salt offers a unique taste - smooth yet intense with no hint of bitterness. You can purchase it in its simple form or choose among flavored varieties blended with natural ingredients like celery seeds or organic spices; Halen Mon also comes as smoked oak-infused flakes adding depth to any dish you may create!
West Wales Salmon
West Wales is home to a unique wild salmon, the Salmo salar species. It can be identified by its silver skin and dark blue back. Its texture is firm yet full of beneficial oils, making it perfect for grilling or poaching- all whilst smelling delicious! Native fishermen use coracles (small hand crafted boats) to catch these fish at their peak quality as soon as they enter from sea; this ensures that only ultra fresh and intensely flavourful filets make up your market purchase.
