Ireland-based, high-end oyster producer Majestic plans to start selling its products into the metropolitan market of Shanghai within the next two weeks, as the company expands its footprint in the Asian giant, Managing Director Des Moore told IntraFish.

"There is a big market for all sizes," Moore said, noting that the company is already doing regular deliveries to Hangzhou and Beijing.

Moore, who took over the helm of the group after splitting with a French partner, previously supplied between 5-6 metric tons a week from France to 10 different countries, but two months ago switched operations to Ireland.
