Broadwater Oysters is a small coastal oyster business based in Broadwater, New South Wales, featured on The Adventure Collective. The business specializes in hands-on oyster experiences designed for locals and visitors who want immersive seafood education and tasting. Broadwater Oysters operates both private, small-group sessions and public classes that focus on sustainable, regionally grown Sydney Rock Oysters.
The Tide-to-Table private class guides participants through oyster selection, shucking technique, and flavour pairing.

Seasonal toppings are included so attendees can experiment with combinations while learning food-safety and provenance details relevant to the estuary environment.
