From the revered Mooks Sea Farm on the Damariscotta River, these oysters are grown for 3 years and then sustainably harvested from the estuary. Damariscotta oysters start with a briny flavor followed by a slightly sweet aftertaste that has made them the oyster of choice at the top oyster bars in Maine.

How to Eat Damariscotta Oysters

Your order of Damariscotta oysters come fresh and ready eat inside the shell. Be sure to add an oyster shucker to your purchase if you don’t have one at home.

When ready to eat your oysters:

  • Remove from container and scrub with a hard-bristle brush to remove any built-up dirt and debris.
  • Submerge clean oysters in very cold water.
  • On a cutting board, wrap oyster flat-side-up in a kitchen towel and hold with non-dominant hand.
  • Find hinge near the pointed end of the oyster and slip your shucker into the fissure. Wiggle the shucker blade in then twist to pry shell up.
  • Separate the oyster from its shell by running knife around the top shell. It should separate with the oyster intact.
  • Run blade under oyster to loosen and free it from the muscle and bottom half of shell.

Please be Aware: Consuming raw or undercooked shellfish may increase your risk of foodborne illness, especially if you have certain medical conditions.
