Sydney Rock Oysters - Sapphire Coast Oysters, New South Wales

Pambula Lake

As one of the coast’s most significant oyster-producing estuaries, Pambula Lake is abundant in aquatic culture and history. Ancient middens dot the curving foreshore, evidence of many thousands of years of oyster collection by traditional custodians, the Thaua people of the Yuin nation.


Pambula Lake is a natural spawning ground for the Sydney rock oyster, which thrives in nutrient-rich waters created by the meeting of two rivers and a healthy tidal exchange. Its oysters are smooth, deep and creamy, with a subtle sweet and salty finish. They possess a high level of brine and minerality, with plumpness encouraged by a muddy and seagrass-rich seabed.
