SHELLFISH FARMING
Our shellfish businesses
Farming
Anchored on the Mediterranean coast, we have been farming oysters and mussels for 3 generations. A foot in each environment: the lagoon and the sea
Oyster farmer
As oyster farmers on the Etang de Thau, we have innovated and transformed our business to ensure that our oysters are consistent and of the highest quality over the years, from the authentic Bouzigues oyster to the exondée and the special Tarbouriech.
Mussel farmer
Mussel farmer in lagoons and the Mediterranean Sea.
Traditionally, strings of mussel spat are immersed in the lagoon under the tables. Since 2015, Tarbouriech has been reintroducing long-line farming in the Mediterranean Sea.
Shipping
The shellfish are immediately washed (and de-stemmed for the mussels) before being placed in the tank. 1,350 m3 of tanks enable shellfish to be stored under optimum biomass conditions.
To guarantee impeccable bacteriological quality, Médithau purifies the shellfish for as long as necessary.
