Leeuwin Coast

Owned by Harvest Road, a Western Australian agri-food business dedicated to delivering Australia’s best sustainable produce to the world, Leeuwin Coast’s Rock Oysters & Akoya offer customers sustainable seafood from the pristine waters of Albany in the south west corner of Western Australia.

The first aquaculture products in Australia to be certified carbon neutral by Climate Active and also certified by Friend of the Sea, the Albany Rock Oysters and Akoya are grown sustainably using a combination of innovative aquaculture processes, the experience of our rigorous and passionate people and the unique natural environment in which we operate.

Traditionally grown for pearls, our innovative aquaculture practices have brough the Leeuwin Coast Akoya to market for culinary purposes in a way the industry has never seen before, and offers chefs the opportunity to put a new, intriguing and beautiful shellfish on their menus. Encased in a stunning pearlescent shell the Akoya is a described a flavour reminiscent of clams, with the brininess and minerality of an oyster, and an underlying sweetness of a scallop and can be prepared in a multitude of different creative ways.

A well established and much-loved oyster, our investment in rock oyster farming technology combined with our rigorous and passionate people has developed our Albany Rock Oyster into a much sought after oyster for Australia’s best chefs and discerning diners. The taste is described as creamy and soft, and rich with a briny finish, and the unique vegetation surrounding the Albany water ways adds a unique floral complexity to the already-bold umami flavours of the oyster, which presents a taste experience reflecting the pristine Southern Ocean waters.
