Life as an expat in Vietnam is full of discovery — bustling markets, endless street food, and flavors that can surprise you every day. Yet for many of us, there are moments when the tropical heat and constant buzz make us long for something familiar, something that connects us back to where we came from.
For those from Canada, Europe, or anywhere the Pacific touches, oysters are often part of that memory. A plate of freshly shucked oysters with a squeeze of lemon, or a baked dish paired with wine, can transport you straight back to coastal evenings and gatherings with friends.
Through CFVN, that comfort is never too far away. By partnering directly with family-run farms in British Columbia, CFVN delivers the same Baynes Sound, Fat Bastard, Black Wings, and Champagne oysters that once shaped your culinary experiences abroad. Each oyster carries the freshness of the North Pacific, preserved through a strict cold chain from farm to table.
For expats, enjoying these oysters in Saigon or Hanoi isn’t just about dining. It’s about creating continuity — blending the vibrant culture of Vietnam with the familiar taste of home. It’s a reminder that while we live far from where we started, we can always bring the essence of the Pacific with us.
