The Coromandel Oyster Company @ Coromandel

Do you love Oyster ? or even Mussel ? I never really like this kind of seafood as its taste kinda fishy when i first ate in Malaysia.

But.....but ...but .....on our new  year trip around north island.....On the way to Cathedral Cove...we  stop by a small shop for little lunch  :

                           We started with a half dozen half sell of Oyster 9.40 NZD
                           Coz most of us really afraid of the fishy taste .
                                  We were all surprised with the 1st bite....
                                          Its was so FRESH and JUICY
                         most important there's no any fishy taste or irritate bites..
                               At here,they provided quite many type of sauces .
                                    I cant recalled what they have ....
                               My favoritism with oyster is Tabasco and Lemon
      I went into the shop again for second order, and found out 
they are  cleaning and steaming the mussel which i smell the freshness .....
i ask for  some original hot steam mussel ....
they are great enough to sell us some ....
It was darn FABULOUS !!!
(Felt like they catch from the back and straight away cook in front)
We then went in for 3rd order.....hahaha
(due to all of us are afraid at 1st ,deeply fall in love in the end)
We bought some marinated mussel...Its like 5.50NZD per small bucket.
They have various of marinated
We took lemon bucket and garlic .
 
                                    Although its have been marinated ,
                                      But its still remain the freshness
                                   SEEE ........ (Ahem....its look like something private tho..haha)
