Introduction

Freycinet Marine Farm works the shallow waters around Great Oyster Bay on Tasmania's east coast and is one of the region's best-known growers of Pacific oysters and mussels. Clean water and stable temperatures produce plump oysters with a briny, slightly sweet finish, usually opened within a very short time of harvest. Visitors can taste freshly shucked oysters and steamed mussels at the farm gate, or join a tour by boat out to the growing racks to learn how tides, currents and stocking density shape flavour. It is commonly combined with Wineglass Bay and Freycinet National Park on the same day.
