Winter Point

"Winter Points hail from Mill Cove, near Bath. They are always sweet and very salty—in fact, these were the briniest of the twelve oysters I tasted. These summer oysters were a little thin-bodied and thin-shelled, and noticeably tannic and astringent. In winter they are fat and firm."

"Love my local oysters! These beauties are always big, pretty, with a deep cup and plenty of sweet briny broth. The flesh is pale and meaty, and they shuck easily."

"My favorite oyster of all-time, it's becoming rarer to see them at the shops and bars these days, and I wonder why. This is a great bite, nicely balanced brine and sharp mineral finish. Awesome with an Allagash White Ale."

"Winter Point Oysters are infused with a brew of marine mud, cold tidal waters, and a rich, constant supply of minerals from the Atlantic. Salinity, clarity, a particular sweetness, a robust meatiness, the coveted briny flavor…near oyster perfection."
