The Oyster Guide

Grown by Skip Bennett and his gang of Duxbury oyster farmers, Island Creeks  have an amazing butter-and-brine taste. They are as salty as all getout, making them the classic Boston partner for a pint of Sam Adams Lager, and every single one is delightfully firm and beautifully clean tasting, qualities that enabled Island Creek to win Best Oyster at the largest blind oyster tasting ever held. When I ask servers what oyster they recommend to customers, the answer I hear most often is “Island Creek.” You can order them here.
