Oysters

The town is named for the oyster.

We carry a rotating selection of East Coast oysters — ask at the counter which ones are eating best today. Everything arrives tagged, dated and traceable to the farm it came off.

Questions

At the fish counter.

More of them on the full FAQ.

What seafood do you carry?

Fresh fish, shellfish and specialty seafood — the selection changes regularly. Ask at the counter what is freshest today. Cold-water lobster tails are frozen at sea, which is what keeps the meat firm.

Where do the oysters and clams come from?

We carry a rotating selection of East Coast oysters and clams, tagged and traceable to the farm. Ask at the counter what is on ice today.

Can you source a specific fish for a dish?

Yes. With advance notice we can source a wide variety of fresh fish and seasonal seafood — whole fish for the grill, fish for crudo, head-on prawns. Call the counter and tell us the dish rather than the species; we will tell you what is worth buying that week.

Do you shuck oysters for a party?

We do, at pickup. Call ahead for larger orders so the shucking does not hold up the counter.
