About Oyster
Oysters are a family of bivalve molluscs that live in marine or brackish habitats. Valued for their unique flavor and texture, they have been a culinary delicacy for centuries. Beyond their culinary appeal, oysters play a crucial ecological role, filtering water and creating habitats for other marine life. Different oyster species exist worldwide, each with varying sizes and shapes. They are a popular ingredient in dishes ranging from raw appetizers to cooked stews and are also prized for the pearls they can produce. Farmed oysters are an important part of aquaculture globally.
