If you love oysters, you'll want to join us for the ultimate oyster appreciation experience at Sydney Seafood School, featuring oyster expert Salma Ebrahim from East 33 Oysters.
In this hands-off Sundowner session, you'll get to watch oysters get shucked live, try a range of different varieties with a myriad of delicious dressings and learn all about the heritage, provenance, seasonality, and farming of this stunning bivalve.
We're so lucky to have Salma hosting this class---she has a deep understanding of oysters thanks to her role at East 33, and is passionate about sharing the story of their products, industry and farming methods with consumers.
Book in to be taken on a journey of oyster appreciation, tasting some of the best in class and developing a better understanding of your own preferences.
What You'll Learn
  • The differences between Sydney Rock and Pacific Oysters---in taste, appearance and terroir.
  • How to choose a delicious, high-quality oyster, every time.
  • The basics of shucking an oyster.
What You'll Taste
  • Sydney Rock Oysters
  • Pacific Oysters
  • A wide variety of dressings, sauces and mignonettes
