Oysters aren’t your usual seafood. They’re live, highly sensitive, and demand proper care — from sea to tank to table. That’s why serious oyster bars and chefs are picky about hygiene, cold chain, and shucking standards. We are too. And we take it further.
🦪 A Boutique Live Oyster Market — Not Just a Seafood Retailer
At Avant Marketplace, we run Singapore’s live oyster market.
We serve both walk-in retail and online customers — but what makes us different is our commitment to live, not chilled or thawed oysters.
Every day, you’ll find at least 6 types of live oysters, stored in actual live tanks, not sitting on trays waiting to be sold.
-
No "while stocks last"
-
No last-day discounts
-
No overstock clearances
Just live oysters at their peak, available daily — all year round.
We’re not running a one-off promotion or oyster festival.
We’re a daily tasting station for oyster lovers in Singapore.
🧊 How We Manage Stock — The Right Way
Running a real oyster program takes logistics and experience.
We stock 200–400 oysters per type, with over 2,000 live oysters in our tanks at any time.
This volume isn’t about bulk for the sake of it — it’s about consistency.
We’ve spent years running oyster bars and learning sourcing, handling, and oyster seasonality. That’s how we ensure not only supply, but flavour rotation and quality control.
💬 Common Question:
“Why do these oysters taste different from last week?”
Great question — and it’s normal.
Oysters are natural, living shellfish. Their flavour changes with:
-
Season
-
Sea temperature
-
Wave strength
-
Harvest depth
-
Plankton content
Just like grapes affect a wine’s character, oysters reflect their merroir — the sea version of terroir.
Some batches are sweeter. Some brinier. Some firmer. And that’s exactly how fresh oysters are meant to be. Variation is part of the experience.
As long as they’re fresh (and ours always are), these natural differences are something to appreciate — not fear.
📦 How We Handle Online Oyster Delivery
We take oyster delivery seriously. Here's how it works:
✅ Minimum Order: $160 before GST
✅ Lead Time: Please order 2 days in advance
✅ Delivery Timing: We’ll contact you on delivery day to confirm time
✅ Self-Collection: Highly recommended for peak freshness
How do we pack them?
We use styrofoam boxes — not glam, but functional. Foam is still the best at maintaining cold, stable temperatures. We'd rather skip fancy packaging and focus on food safety.
Will we send you “dead” oysters?
No. All our oysters are live until the moment they’re packed.
Our team checks each oyster during shucking — if it doesn’t react or smells off, it’s rejected. This is why our oyster shuckers also serve as quality control, not just prep.
🧠 Bonus: We Don’t Just Sell — We Guide
Most people order oysters, then Google what they just ate.
Not here.
Our team eats oysters daily (yes, really). We know:
-
Which types are creamy
-
Which are clean and sweet
-
Which are better for beginners
-
Which are full-bodied and briny
We’ll walk you through flavour profiles, offer pairing tips, and help you find your fit — whether it’s your first oyster or your fiftieth.
Whether you're an oyster lover, a curious first-timer, or a chef looking for consistent quality — Avant Marketplace is built for you.
We’re not here to impress with promotions.
We’re here to serve oysters — the right way.
Live. Fresh. Transparent. Every day.
Drop by our store, or place your order online.
Ask questions, try something new, and taste the difference that comes from doing things properly.
Your oysters don’t come from a warehouse.
They come from people who live and breathe them.
