The Oyster Chronicle

Not all heroes wear capes—some wear waders and spend their days waist-deep in Franklin Harbour’s pristine waters. Meet Carl—aqua-farmer and oyster innovator, pastor, and absolute legend.

Haslea ostrearia, a specific phytoplankton found in the ocean currents of South Australia, creates the green colouration of the oysters' gills.

The oysters here benefit from the abundance of phytoplankton, algae, shallow and warm waters, which imparts a unique flavour profile to the final product.

Along the serene coast of South Australia, Franklin Harbour is a testament to the region's commitment to sustainable aquaculture, particularly oyster farming.
