Native Angasi oysters are back on the menu in Tassie. Also known as the Southern Mud Oyster, the Angasi (Ostrea angasi) has been recognised in the Slow Food Ark of Taste. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
When it comes to taste, Angasi are fuller and richer than other cultivated oysters - mildly gamey with a slightly fishy aftertaste.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
They are an important food to Australia's First People and are well represented in coastal middens. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Farming these oysters can be tricky as the young oysters (spats) have thinner shells. ⁣

"Native Angasi oysters have made their return, shucked to order and served with lemon or our house made pear & rocoto hot sauce 🔥⁣
⁣
Grown in Taranna by @theoysterprovince on our Tasman Peninsula. We are so happy to have them on the menu again, shining beautifully on this handmade plate by @smallfiresstudio 😍"⁣

A new glaze mix that we stumbled upon. We just can't see to find the right words to describe it, sea mist, torrential tears or maybe dark clouds? What are your thoughts?

Alby’s been applying a red iron oxide wash to be the base layer on a new range of travel cups. They’ve been glazed & have just gone into the kiln - when they come out they’ll have a deliciously creamy finish with the iron oxide & textures coming through.
