Essence of butter; pristine brackish waters; joie de vivre. Robust meat, crisp texture, balanced flavor. Likely to influence your palette towards all things oceanic. Filter-feeding where the algae is plentiful, our Topsiders are cultivated & harvested in floating surface gear at one of our signature growing sites. They surf the powerful tides of the Damariscotta daily. Fast water flow provides both ample algae & movement to shape shells. Tumbled post-nursery. Sorted & tended by hand throughout the growing season (spring to fall), then sunk to wait out the winter in the safe embrace of the riverbed.
