The next time you’re in Boston and craving oysters, go to the Island Creek Oyster Bar and ask for “the Peter’s.
The Peter’s Points from Onset, MA have quite the cult following around here. We continue to receive calls asking “when are the Peter’s going to be back?” Well, folks, the water is starting to warm up and we have some available for the foreseeable future!
If you haven’t jumped on the Peter’s Point bandwagon yet, these oysters are mossy and full of salt and mineral flavors with a remarkable green shell. They are grown in Onset on the Cape Cod Canal by Dennis Pittsley and Bob Tourigny. Bob and Dennis were one of the first farms ICO started working with and have one of the largest grants (about 23 acres) in Massachusetts.
They have some pretty unique techniques; the oysters are all hand harvested with a rake, and the crew uses a “window box” (see below) so they can see the oysters sitting on the bottom of the bay floor. As Dennis wades through the water to harvest, he puts the oysters into baskets floating on the water’s surface with the help of inner tubes. Pretty neat, eh?
Check out a few pictures below of the grow out process, and check ’em out at shop.islandcreekoysters.com.
Cheers,
The ICO Crew

E.J. plays a Yamaha Recording Custom drum set with Zilldjian cymbals. His first drum set was a 5-piece Slingerland with Zilldjians. He grew-up worshiping Neil Peart (RIP) of the band Rush, and loves the song Tom Sawyer—the name of his family’s boat, a Grady-White Canyon 306. He grew up in Mattapoisett, MA, an idyllic small town on the water near Cape Cod. He spends time in Newport, RI and Bartlett, NH—both as far away from Wall Street as one could mentally get. The Newport office is on a quiet, tree lined street not far from the harbor and the log cabin in Bartlett, NH, the “Live Free or Die” state, sits on the edge of the White Mountain National Forest. He enjoys spending time in Key West and Paris.
