Running Tide Oysters (Harpswell, ME) - SOLD OUT

Running Tide oysters stand out amongst regional varieties thanks to their bright brine and a balance of salty and sweet. The meat has a lightness to its flavor and the texture is an oyster lover's dream, giving Running Tide's a distinct profile compared to other Maine oysters.

Dedication to the oyster's maturation process helps set Running Tide oysters apart. They nurture their oysters from the start, using seed grown in their own hatchery fed by the clean, cool ocean waters of Harpswell, Maine.

From there, Running Tide oysters head out to their nearby farms, and never touch the bottom.  Over two years, they are thoughtfully tumbled to create deep cups and beautifully consistent size and shape. This attention to detail shines through in every oyster, from the initial brightness to the lingering richness left on your palate.

Benefits of Maine Oysters

Chock-full of zinc and omega 3 fatty acids, oysters are an immune-boosting, mood elevating, superfood. And best of all, they have a small carbon footprint as they need no fertilizer, feed, or cleared land to grow.
