The high meat content and unique sweet taste of fresh Carlingford Oysters is one of nature's real treasures. Carlingford Lough has a huge exchange of water with each tide which provides the nutrients on which the oysters feed. Wright Brothers supply these unshucked oysters to the very finest restaurant establishments in London and are now bringing them directly to your door so you can now buy Carlingford Oysters online.
Oysters should be stored in the fridge (not too cold) and enjoyed as soon as possible after delivery. They can last a long time in the right conditions. The Shells must be tightly closed when you shuck them, which signifies the Oyster is alive and good to eat.
Located 50 miles north of Dublin, the medieval village of Carlingford is reputed to be the most picturesque village in Ireland. It takes around three years to nurture a fully-grown Fresh Carlingford Rock Oyster. They are first introduced to Carlingford Lough at fingernail size and placed in fine mesh bags. Hand-turned at regular intervals to give the oysters perfect shape and form, the oysters are then handpicked and go through a purification process before distribution.
Not only are fresh oysters delicious, they contain more zinc and minerals than any other food in the world, as well as being rich in vitamins. Zinc has a great number of health benefits including boosting brain-power, increasing tissue repair and boosting your metabolism.

At The Wright Brothers Ltd, we are dedicated to providing the highest quality seafood while prioritising sustainability and environmental responsibility. We closely monitor the guidelines to ensure that our sourcing practices are as sustainable and eco-friendly as possible.
Whenever available, we prioritise sourcing our fish from day boats, supporting local fishermen who use low-impact fishing methods. This approach not only guarantees the freshest catch but also minimises our environmental footprint.
We also recognise seasonal and regional catch opportunities and often for lesser-known species, that although not always viable for the larger boats, represent an important part of local fishing community sustainability for the smaller vessels.
We are committed to continuously reviewing and improving our sourcing practices to protect our oceans and ensure a sustainable future for seafood. Thank you for supporting our mission to make responsible choices.
