Our story
About
Meet Chris, the Man Behind Huîtres en Mouvement
The Founder
Inspired by his father, who has been active in the shellfish business since the late eighties, Christopher entered the fish industry at an early age. He then discovered his passion for these molluscs and has developed his art of opening oysters ever since. Following years of working within the industry and working with direct oyster farms, he is definitely a man on a mission to introduce new and fresh ideas to the art of presenting fresh oysters to all. Consider this his calling.
“I consider it a privelege to be part of the art that it takes to expertly shuck an oyster.”
A labour of love
- Christopher Frank Recine
