Mali Ston Oyster

Mali Ston oyster is the name for the European flat oyster Ostrea edulis (Linnaeus, 1758) which eventually became known outside the Dubrovnik area. The long tradition of oyster farming stretches from the ancient times, through the Dubrovnik Republic until the present day. The importance of Mali Ston oysters in terms of economy and gastronomy is especially noticed by the Dubrovnik Republic, which regulates the farming and sales with strict legal acts.
