Share the Oyster Love
Did you know that Oysters are a Keystone species? And that Native oysters are functionally extinct in the wild?
Yet, farmed and sustainable oysters are one of the best things we can eat for our planet.
We set The Oyster Academy CIC up to help raise funds to advocate for the oyster industry and fund direct action with research projects, collaborations and industry support.
A percentage of every purchase with The Oyster Academy, The Oyster Lady & London Oyster Week goes towards this vitally important work.
Why Book TOA?
You will benefit from Katy’s unique experience that stretches back to her first oyster in 1987.
SInce then she has been a pioneer in the Oyster Industry, setting up oyster bars, festivals, consulting on events, innovating recipes, presenting at Food Festivals, working on oyster farms, presenting her ‘Ostrelier’ project at the World Oyster Society International Oyster Symposium, appearing on National TV and in National & International press.
She has shucked around the world searching out oyster farms and wild oyster beds in exotic places like the Saharan coast and Caribbean mangroves bringing back experience, knowledge and recipes to share.
She founded the first formal Qualification in Oyster Culture with The Oyster Academy’s Ostrelier Training.
She also Founded London Oyster Week in 2018 to promote Oyster Culture in the UK to as many people as possible due to the oyster’s cultural, ethical, sustainable, nutritious and delicious credentials.
A true oyster evangelist, with this Masterclass you will be benefiting from all these years of oyster experience, research and innovation as well as helping safeguard oysters for the future.
