Oyster Farm Shop

Kangaroo Island


Run by a local oyster farm, this little shack acts as an outlet for sustainable seafood producers from all over KI. Oysters, marron, abalone, King George whiting…even barramundi, cooked into meals (nothing is deep-fried) or take away uncooked. A dozen fresh shucked oysters start at around $20.
