Oyster Master Class by Riddle and Finns

If you have ever found yourself staring at a menu in Brighton, wondering about the nuances of oysters, you might be interested in the upcoming sessions at Riddle & Finns. They are hosting an Oyster Masterclass that breaks down the basics of these shellfish over a 90-minute session. It is essentially a deep dive into the world of oysters, aimed at anyone who wants to move past just eating them and actually understand what they are tasting.

The sessions are structured to be quite hands-on, focusing on the practical side of things. You spend an hour and a half learning about the different varieties and the characteristics that define them. It is a straightforward approach for those who enjoy food and want to get a bit more technical about their seafood choices. Since it is hosted by the team at Riddle & Finns, the setting is their usual restaurant environment, which keeps the experience grounded in their specific approach to the product.

For those planning ahead, there are several dates scheduled throughout the spring and summer of 2026. The masterclasses are taking place on 25 April, 30 May, 27 June, 25 July, and 29 August. Because this is a structured class rather than a casual drop-in, you will need to book your spot in advance to attend. It is a specific type of activity for people who are curious about the process behind the plate, offering a chance to learn directly from the staff who handle these ingredients daily.
