Knysna Oyster Company — Oysters / Seafood, Knysna
The Knysna Oyster Company is South Africa’s oldest oyster farm, established in 1949, and remains the most unpretentious place to order Knysna oysters. The farm-to-table concept here is at its most literal: the oysters from the lagoon, the company that has been farming them for 75 years, and the simple preparation that allows the quality to speak directly.
The Knysna oyster at the Oyster Company is the benchmark against which every other Knysna oyster preparation should be measured: the salinity of the lagoon, the mineral depth of the coastal waters, and the expertise of 75 years of farming all present in each shell.
The wine programme is simple and appropriate: the Western Cape whites that the oysters demand.
The Knysna Oyster Company is for those who want the most direct connection between the Knysna Lagoon and the oyster: 75 years of expertise, the oldest farm in the country, and the most honest expression of what makes Knysna oysters the finest in Africa.
