Dodge Cove Oysters from Edgecomb, ME
Available for a limited time only.
Farmers: Eben Court
Location: Damariscotta River, Edgecomb ME
Size: 3"
How they're grown: These legendary Maine gems are grown on a large 40 acre property in the Damariscotta River. The seed is started in their hatchery and then grown in floating upwellers before being transferred to their farm. The nutrients from the Great Salt Bay flow down the Damariscotta River, passing through granite channels, ledges, and narrows eventually filtering directly to the farm. The cold, brackish water and strong tides develop clean, crisp meats protected by strong brown and white dappled shells with deep cups.
How they taste: These are magically creamy and savory. Think of a butter-rich chicken noodle soup. They even have a dense texture which reminds us of biting into a chicken thigh. Come and get it!
Why they're unique: This farm claims to be the oldest working oyster farm in Maine!
Story: This farm goes back to 1977. The history of shellfish consumption in this area goes back even further. Oyster middens [a.k.a. old oyster shell piles] along the Damariscotta shore are up to 1,000 years old! Google 'Whaleback Oyster Midden' and be amazed. Humans have been loving Maine oysters for a very long time. This farm also operates as a hatchery, Muscongus Bay Aquaculture, supplying seed to local farms.
