About Arcachon Oyster Tastings
An oyster tasting in Arcachon is as direct as food gets — freshly shucked oysters, often at the farm itself, with a grower who can tell you exactly which water each one came from.
Oysters are year-round in France (the ‘r-month’ rule is about spawning texture, not safety) — but they’re at their firmest from autumn to spring.
