For your first time, book an oyster safari with a guide who knows the safe beds. Wear tall wellies and thick gloves, because oyster shells are sharp.
What you can find
Pacific oysters, mussels, cockles, crabs, shrimps, waders
What to do: oysters, mussels, mudflat walking, wildlife watching
Shellfish and sanitary status: Wadden Sea National Park encourages gathering oysters and mussels only where access is allowed and only for your own use. Before eating, check the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration (Fødevarestyrelsen) warnings on algal toxins.
Rules and safety
Gather only where access is allowed, and only as much as fits in a net bag you can carry. Check the tide, because water floods the flats fast and from the sides. Keep away from birds.
About the place
Rømø is the largest Danish island in the Wadden Sea, linked to the mainland by a causeway. On the east side, by the causeway, low tide uncovers beds of wild Pacific oysters. The national park and local guides run oyster safaris (østerssafari) here.
