Dried Oysters (蠔豉)

These plump, sun-dried oysters (蠔豉) come from Guangdong, a trusted source for high-quality traditional seafood delicacies. Carefully selected and slow-dried under natural sunlight, they develop a rich, smoky aroma and meaty texture that deepens with age. Each piece is full-bodied and ideal for festive and everyday cooking alike.

Dried oysters are especially popular in Hong Kong during Lunar New Year, as the name 蠔豉 (ho si) sounds like "good things" or "good business" in Cantonese. Symbolizing prosperity and good fortune, they're used in dishes like braised dried oysters with black moss (蠔豉髮菜) and turnip cakes.
