BY HAND AND SEA

Working with nature to craft the perfect oyster.

FD PRODUCT HERO

WHY WE TASTE SO DAMN GOOD

WAVE CRAFTED

Our surface-grown oysters get a workout in the waves, encouraging them to develop rich, savory meats.

HAND CULTIVATED

We rock and tumble each and every oyster by hand to ensure the ocean’s bounty presents crisp, clean and full.

EXQUISITE MERROIR

Our farm’s boutique ecology of salt marsh, sea greens, sweet springs and more creates an oyster with unforgettable, mouth-watering flavor.

TRACE THE TASTE

Our oysters live in the same bags from planting to harvest, developing a traceable flavor profile that reflects their unique microenvironment.

Chimichurri -Basic Summer Recipe

Better known as a marinade and sauce for steak, chimichurri is a delight on oysters. It adds color and bright dimension to the bivalves’ complex flavors. Use it on raw, smoked, or grilled oysters.

This recipe is a cilantro-forward summer one intended to be made in a food processor. Variations on the recipe follow, as do instructions to prepare by hand.

Chimichurri -Basic Summer Recipe

Makes 2 cups - enough for 50-100 oysters

1 shallot, chopped
¼-½ red bell pepper, chopped
4 garlic cloves, chopped
½ cup red wine vinegar
1 tsp. kosher salt, plus more
½-¾ cup finely chopped cilantro
¼ cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 Tbsp. finely chopped oregano or 1 tsp. Dried oregano
¾ cup extra-virgin olive oil

To make:
  • Chop first three ingredients roughly. Mix with vinegar and salt and let sit for 5-10 minutes.
  • Add this mixture and all other ingredients except red pepper to a food processor.
  • Process on high until consistency is like relish.
  • Add pepper and the rest of the oil and blend enough to break down pepper, but not so much it disappears.
  • Serve with oysters.
Variations
  • Spicy: add up to 2 red jalapenos in place of the red pepper. Alternately red pepper flakes or hot sauce can be added to taste.
  • Winter/Cilantro-free: Replace all cilantro with parsley. Add a splash of balsamic.

By Hand: Chop first three ingredients very finely. Mix with vinegar and salt and let sit for 5-10 minutes. Stir in very finely chopped herbs and slowly add oil with a whisk or fork.
