Multiple Dates
Saltwash Dinner Series at Island Creek Oyster Farm
Event Information
Description
Summer isn’t over after Labor Day - says us.
We, the farmers of Duxbury’s Island Creek Oysters recently launched the The Raw Bar, a casual, outdoor oyster experience located on our newly acquired 11-acre waterfront farm, just steps from Duxbury Bay. The Raw Bar presents an opportunity for you to chill by the bay and enjoy the breeze - just don’t get in the way of our farmers! Linger outside in the sea breeze, while tasting oysters pulled from the bay hours before they are shucked, often by the very people who grew them.
Because we basically never want summer to end and we like hanging out with our friends, we’re kicking off our first Saltwash Dinner Series. Join us for the last three Monday’s in September for a four to five course family-style dinner (with surprises!) hosted by some chefs that we're lucky to call friends. We'll announce menu details on Instagram feed - so keep your eyes peeled to @islandcreekoysters!
The lineup includes:
-
September 10th: Chef Jeremy Sewall: Island Creek Oyster Bar and Row 34
-
September 17th: Chef Jamie Bissonnette: Toro, Coppa and Little Donkey
-
September 24th: Chef Rob Wong: Hojoko
We’ll start off with a cocktail hour, complete with passed hors d’oeuvres and of course - oysters! Then we’ll sit for dinner where you’ll pass, share, and drink while overlooking beautiful Duxbury Bay. Your ticket price includes a signature cocktail and wine pairings with dinner…there will also be a cash bar for those wanting more. High-fives and good times also included.
Our events are rain or shine, but if a really bad storm comes through, we’ll reschedule for summer 2019. We hope you can join us!

Organizer of Saltwash Dinner Series at Island Creek Oyster Farm
Founded by Skip Bennett in 1995, Island Creek Oysters is firmly rooted in Duxbury—a quintessential New England coastal community with rural charm, a rich maritime heritage and Massachusetts’s largest farmed shellfish industry. The Raw Bar is a chance for folks to experience Island Creek’s oysters in their natural environment, alongside Duxbury Bay and the people who make it special.
The Raw Bar offerings include local oysters hailing from Duxbury, Kingston and Plymouth, with a focus on the their own Island Creek, Row 34, and Aunt Dotty varieties. Anchored by a retrofitted Island Creek Oyster food truck, the outdoor space also features authentic German beer garden picnic tables surrounding a long communal driftwood table, which creates a relaxed space for guests to enjoy oysters, beer, wine, and lawn games before leaving the farm. In addition to local bivalves for $2.50 each, The Raw Bar features a selection of tinned fish from Galicia-based Ramón Peña and caviar by Island Creek. A smattering of local South Shore and Boston-based beers complement the menu in addition to large format rosé, canned cocktails, and wine on tap.
The Raw Bar is open Tuesday to Sunday from 12pm to twilight. For more information about The Raw Bar, call them at 781-934-2028 or follow Island Creek Oysters on Instagram via @islandcreekoysters. The Raw Bar is located at 401 Washington Street, Duxbury MA.
