Harty Oysters Ltd

Harty Oysters Limited is a family‑run aquaculture business that cultivates premium “speciale” triploid Gigas oysters for the luxury food market. Building on the pioneering work of Jim Harty, who first recognised the potential of the Celtic Sea, the company now produces more than 600 tonnes of oysters each year, offering four size ranges—from the generous No 0 (150 g +) down to the delicate No 3 (65‑85 g).

The oysters are grown in the nutrient‑rich waters of Dungarvan Bay, County Waterford, where the confluence of Atlantic currents and local river streams creates a uniquely sweet and meaty flavour that has become a favourite of the French market and discerning consumers worldwide. Harty Oysters’ commitment to quality and sustainability positions its product as one of Ireland’s top luxury food offerings, catering to chefs, retailers and oyster enthusiasts who demand the very best from the sea.
