This Summer Help Yourself To Bowen Blacklip Oysters

As the warmth of summer begins to resettle on the region, look toward Arabon Seafood for premium, freshest seafood offering.

Especially for oyster fans, with Arabon Seafood being the exclusive supplier of Bowen Blacklip oysters, farmed and harvested by John Collison.

Farmer John Collision began his oyster farm nine years ago, starting the operation from scratch, using techniques he learned from his southern New South Wales oyster farms.

Arabon Seafood owner operators Claire and Terry Must have been the exclusive selling partners ever since and the prime retailer of the big homegrown Bowen Blacklip rock oysters.

Now a consistent product in the region, Arabon Seafood regularly see the oysters fly from their shop counter.

“John harvests 30 to 40 dozen oysters a day, and we would sell that much a day too!” said Claire.

Shucking the oysters in house, and selling them by the dozen, the oysters are as fresh as you can get, with John harvesting them early in the morning, and dropping them by Arabon as soon as possible.

“They are absolutely delicious,” Claire said.

Being able to be stored in the fridge for a few days, Claire still recommends eating them the same day as catch.

“Kilpatrick is still a great option as well, to add a bit of flavour, but raw from the shell is my way to go!”

Ensuring the best fresh, farm to table Blacklip oysters, Arabon Seafood is keeping Bowen and the Whitsundays well stocked, perfect for summer.
