Ask me what my favorite treat during summer months is and I’ll tell you, hands down, raw oysters with an ice-cold beer. One thing I never thought about was where oysters come from. On our recent trip to Scarborough, Maine, we had the pleasure of hopping aboard a work boat at Nonesuch Oyster Farm to get a private tour. We started our tour in front of the Harbor Master’s house at Pine Point. It is a gorgeous working pier and we watched lobstermen loading traps onto their boats as we all admitted we didn’t know what to expect. We were pleased to meet Sadie who would be sharing her boat and her experience with us. I love when my girls get the opportunity to see strong females that are passionate about their jobs.
We hopped aboard a 17’ Carolina Skiff work boat and settled in to the wooden benches, allowing us a close view of the water.
You’ll love watching the gorgeous scenery as you boat through stunning marsh in the river. Like fine wine, oysters will taste different depending on their environment.
