Join Ocean Prime Phoenix on August 5 as they celebrate National Oyster Day with the coveted Pemaquid oyster. From the deep waters of Damariscotta River, Maine, Pemaquid Oysters are harvested from a point where the river meets the Atlantic Ocean, giving them plump, very firm meat which is mildly sweet with a clean, lemon zest flavor and solid brininess. Pemaquid Oyster, also known as the “Cadillac of Oysters” will be available for $22 per dozen.
