Transforming Avant Seafood Retail into a Live Oyster Bar: A Fresh Take on Oysters in Singapore

Live Oyster Bar Singapore | Fresh Oysters at Avant Seafood

Oyster Bar Meets Live Seafood Retail

When we started Avant Seafood, we didn’t just want to be another seafood retail shop. We wanted to create an experience—something that seafood lovers, especially oyster enthusiasts, could truly appreciate. That’s why we’re transforming our space into a Live Oyster Bar. It’s not just about buying oysters; it’s about enjoying them right on the spot, fresh from the tank.

Our Oyster Journey: From Oyster Bars to Avant

Our passion for oysters comes from years of running high-end oyster bars and restaurants. We know that oysters aren’t just food—they’re an experience. Whether it’s that briny hit from a US oyster, the creamy sweetness of an Irish oyster, or the refined, mineral taste of a Fin De Claire, every oyster tells a story.

At Avant, we bring that same passion to our retail concept. You don’t just walk in and buy oysters; you get to pick them from our live tanks, and if you’re in the mood, we’ll shuck and serve them right there. It’s casual, it’s fresh, and it’s real.

Why Oysters Matter to Us

Oysters have always been a symbol of indulgence, but they’re also packed with zinc, vitamin B12, and omega-3s—basically, they’re as nutritious as they are delicious. And when it comes to oysters, freshness is non-negotiable. That’s why we keep ours alive until the very last minute, preserving that ocean-fresh taste and texture.

The Stars of Our Oyster Bar:
  1. US Oysters:

    • Known for their briny, bold flavor with a clean finish.

    • Often larger, with a firm, meaty texture.

    • Perfect with a dash of mignonette or a squeeze of lemon.

  2. Irish Oysters:

    • Mild, creamy, with a hint of sweetness.

    • Highly prized for their well-balanced taste.

    • Ideal for those who prefer a subtle, smooth oyster experience.

  3. Fin De Claire Oysters:

    • Classic French oysters, cultivated in the clear waters of Marennes-Oléron.

    • Briny with a slight vegetal taste and a mineral finish.

    • Perfect for those who love a refined, complex flavor.

What Makes Us Different?

At Avant, we’re not a fine dining restaurant with chandeliers and white tablecloths. Instead, we’re a funky, casual space with a cowboy vibe, live fish tanks, and sometimes awkwardly mismatched furniture. And you know what? We like it that way.

We’re not trying to impress you with fancy décor. We’re here to serve you fresh, quality oysters without the pretentiousness. Whether you’re a hardcore oyster lover or just curious to try, you’ll find a welcoming spot to sit, have a chat, and enjoy some seriously good seafood.

Beyond Oysters: The Full Avant Experience

While oysters are the stars, we’re not stopping there. Our space also doubles as a seafood retail shop and a casual dine-in spot. Pick your seafood live from the tank, and we’ll cook it on the spot. Or take it home if that’s your vibe.

Our team, with a background in high-end oyster bars, knows how to handle oysters properly—shucking them with skill and serving them with the right accompaniments. It’s the oyster experience you deserve, without the hefty price tag.

Join Us for a Live Oyster Experience

If you’re looking for fresh oysters without the fuss, come on down. We’re casual, a little quirky, but we know our seafood. Whether you want to slurp them down with a cold beer or pair them with a crisp white wine, we’ve got you covered.
