About Pine Point

A one-man operation run for nearly a decade by Nate Perry, who grew up minutes from the farm in a family of lobstermen. Grown in the mineral-rich mud flats of the Scarborough River in bottom trays, then finished in floating bags off Cape Elizabeth.

In plain words: briny, sweet, grassy, mineral, clean, with salt bomb salt.
