Definition
  1. Noun:
    • The edible body of an oyster: "huitre" refers specifically to the soft, edible flesh of an oyster, a type of shellfish.
Usage

    • He studied the anatomy of the huitre. (He studied the anatomy of the oyster's body.)
Advanced Usage
  • The term is so uncommon in modern English that it would typically only be encountered in translations of French texts, old cookbooks, or highly specialized biological descriptions.
Variants and Related Words
  • Oyster (n): The standard English word for the shellfish, which can refer to the whole living animal, its shell, or its edible body.
    • We ordered a dozen oysters.
  • Oyster meat (n phrase): The common English phrase for "huitre."

Synonyms
