About Dozen oysters

Dozen oysters are a classic delicacy often associated with coastal cuisines and enjoyed around the world, from French seafood platters to the American Gulf Coast. These briny, tender mollusks are typically served raw on the half-shell, sometimes accompanied by lemon wedges, mignonette, or hot sauce. Packed with nutrients, oysters are an excellent source of high-quality protein, omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, iron, and vitamin B12, supporting immune function, heart health, and energy production. They are low in calories and carbohydrates, making them a great choice for many diets. However, due to their high levels of naturally occurring sodium and cholesterol, they may not be ideal for individuals managing hypertension or heart concerns. It's also important to consume freshly handled oysters to avoid foodborne illnesses. Whether enjoyed solo or as part of a seafood feast, a dozen oysters offer a flavorful, nutrient-rich experience.
