Never heard of an oyster flown in from the Northern hemisphere. Pacific oysters (from Japan) are cultivated in Coffin Bay and Tasmania. Native oysters predominate in most of NSW, where Pacific oysters are classed as a noxious species. I never touch Pacific oysters in the later summer months - mainly because spawning makes them taste awful. Sydney rock oysters are great in the summer fortunately.
