Pemaquid
About Pemaquid
A Maine institution since 1977, when Dodge Cove Marine Farm became the state's very first working oyster farm on the Damariscotta River. Inside, the meat is plump, full, and firm, with a light, citrus-forward flavor, restrained brine, and a clean.
In plain words: citrus, lightly briny, sweet, clean, firm, with salt bomb salt.
