TURNERS OYSTERS AND SEAFOOD   

Welcome to the gateway of oyster growing on the Eyre Peninsula at the AQA Oysters shed which backs onto the idyllic waters of Franklin Harbour, Cowell.   

In the shop front you can view and purchase fresh live oysters from salt water holding tanks.  Staff will demonstrate and teach you how to shuck oysters and share with you their knowldege of local oysters and seafood.  A variety of local salt water marine species are also available for viewing in a large fish tank.

As part of the tour we offer you an insight into the progression of oyster farming from its beginning here in Cowell in the early 80's to current day practice. In our air conditioned theatre you'll be shown dvd footage of our oyster leases and growing techniques.

As part of the tour we walk you through the oyster shed to explain our oyster processing facilities and observe the fully automated oyster grading system in action.  To complete the tour you receive a complimentary glass of wine and a freshly shucked oyster or a pickled oyster in the cafe.

A range of local seafood, local gourmet produce and giftware are available for you to purchase from the store at the completion of the tour.
