Oyster Shucking Is the New Wine Tasting at These Coastal Hotels Across the Country
Condé Nast Traveler
“Located along the shores of Cape Cod’s Pleasant Bay, Wequassett Resort & Golf Club takes its oysters very seriously, and you’ll find them dotted across the menus of the property’s five dining concepts. To really understand how the oyster gets from “spawn to table,” book the hotel’s Coastal Hatchery Tour, which takes guests to ARC Hatchery, the largest hatchery in Massachusetts and the longest-running facility of its kind on the East Coast. From the salt flats of Chapin Beach, you’ll get to see the various life stages of an oyster (plus a few other shellfish) starting from the seed, and gain a better understanding of how they’re sorted, measured, and graded. This summer, the resort is partnering with the Mass Oyster Project to install an oyster upweller, allowing guests (including kids participating in the resort’s Adventure Club) to learn about oyster cultivation and the role shellfish play in restoring coastal ecosystems”.
