Now in its 11th run, the popular annual event will take place from July 1 to July 31.

rolls back into town. Each year, the line-up gets bigger and better. In 2020, it featured 28 varietals. In 2022, that number grew to 29. This year, expect 32 oyster varietals from nine countries including Japan, Canada, France, Portugal, the Netherlands, Ireland, New Zealand and the USA.

To be held from July 1 to July 31, diners can slurp on the likes of Aquanostra and Salgado oysters from Portugal, distinctively briny Amuse de Zelande oysters and Dutch XO oysters from the Netherlands, and meaty Irish Rock oysters, all of which are new to the line-up this year. If in doubt, opt for the no-fuss Oyster Tasting Platter, which comes with eight pairs of the chef’s pick for S$109.95++. Otherwise, order a la carte and keep the champers flowing.

While the new offerings are novel, especially the Canadian Effingham Large Beach oysters that were the size of my hand, we found that old favourites are old favourites for a reason. The crisp, briny Coffin Bay oysters from Australia, iodine-rich New Zealand Rock oysters, and KYS Super Specials No. 1, with their nori-esque umami notes, are still the oysters we are constantly drawn to.

To enjoy the fruits de mer of the festival, stop in at Greenwood Fish Market outlets or order online and enjoy your bivalves in the comforts of home, or as we did one balmy evening at the beach. To paraphrase the oft-used adage, the island is your oyster. Just remember to bring wet wipes.
