Penny's Large Oysters from Yarmouth, ME

Available for a limited time only. Farmer  Location Broad Cove, Yarmouth, ME Size:  How they’re grown These are tried and true bottom grown Maine oysters. The crop takes 3-4 years from nursery-to-harvest when they are dragged up for harvest. Their farm is located in Broad Cove, a shallow and wide cove in the middle of Casco Bay with productive clam and mussel beds. The bottom is made up of firm mud and shell hash [substrate made up of broken and crushed shells], which when paired with low density planting results in large well shaped oysters. How they taste Outrageously heavy shells with deep, round cups. Like drinking the water from a steamed lobster claw, STRONG salt, and a brine that lingers. SO GOOD! Why they’re unique John is a Duxbury native who first learned how to shuck oysters at the Winsor House [Island Creek's hospitality flagship across the street from the farm in Duxbury]!
