Mid-sized oysters with a grand impression. Bottom grown aka darlings of the deep. Our bread and butter, so to speak. Maine merroir mainstays. Bold rich brine with a crisp, earthy finish. Balanced flavor profile, umami & sweet. Subtle seasonal variations are natural. Equally hardy & hearty. Pearly, tough shells with a green algal tint. (We call them gems for a reason.
Grown and harvested right here off Jack’s Point in the Damariscotta River. Planted out to the riverbed after a season in our nursery. A GPT tradition.
