Island Creek Oysters Raw Bar

About

Island Creek Oysters Raw Bar is a seasonal, open-air seafood spot in the Seaport run by Island Creek Oysters, the Duxbury oyster farm. It serves oysters straight from the farm along with caviar, tinned fish, seafood favorites and cocktails, with a kid-friendly menu for families. Picnic tables and lounge seating spread across the space, and the atmosphere leans toward relaxed summer afternoons and evenings with friends.

The company traces back to 1990, when Skip Bennett planted his first oysters in Duxbury Bay as a last attempt to make a living on the water. Island Creek has since grown to include a cannery, a caviar packing operation and a small family of restaurants. At the Seaport raw bar, weekly Sunday live music and Wednesday cornhole leagues add to the scene, and the venue regularly hosts group parties and private events.
