Product Description
Recompense Coves are grown in the cool and clean waters of Recompense Cove in Freeport, Maine. Through an innovative yet simple process of monitoring and attention to detail, local oyster farm Maine Ocean Farms are able to consistently produce a very unique, plump, and delicious oyster.
The Recompense Coves are very similar to their sister oyster, the Wet Smack (produced by the same farm). The Recompense is larger than the Wet Smacks. You really can't go wrong with either option.
SoPo Visits Maine Ocean Farms
We had the honor of joining the Maine Ocean Farms team recently to see behind the scenes of their incredible oyster farming operation. We learned about how the oysters are farmed and carefully graded, we took a bunch of photos, and learned about how they came to make their eco-friendly oyster bags. Click here to read more!
As tribute to their farm location, Maine Ocean Farms have given these oysters their namesake. Recompense Cove begins at the mouth of Little River in Freeport, and is bounded on two sides by peninsulas; Flying Point to the East and Wolfe’s Neck to the West. Broad Sound lies to the South providing strong tidal flushing, which brings fresh ocean water to our Oysters twice a day.
Recompense Cove Oysters are available to buy online for overnight shipping to your door, local delivery, or for pickup at our South Portland Market.
Oyster shucking kit
Our Recompense Cove oysters can be ordered in 12 count or 25 count bags. We offer oyster shucking kits here. The shucking kit includes a high-quality shucking knife and an FDA approved puncture resistant glove.
**Please Note: Oyster Availability/Substitutes**
If your chosen oyster farm is unavailable at the time of shipping, we will select a substitute oyster for you. That substitute oyster will be as close to your chosen oyster as possible in size, location grown, and flavor. If the oyster farm you select is particularly important to you, please leave a note for us in the comments. The note can read (Please let me know if “insert oyster farm” is unavailable). If we see this note and the oyster you have selected is unavailable, we will contact you to discuss options. Options may include a refund or changing the shipping day (to a day when the farm has dropped off more of their oysters at our facility).
Please contact us with any questions regarding our oyster program at SoPo via sales@soposeafood.com.
Please note: We pack and prepare all orders the day of shipping to ensure quality and freshness.
