Immerse yourself in the pristine ecosystem of the East End with local waterman and maritime expert, Paul Brooke. This curated activation offers an intimate window into the lifecycle of the Montauk wild oyster—from the unique mineral-rich waters where they grow to their remarkable nutritional profile and oceanic "merroir." Guests are invited to master the heritage craft of the coast: the art of the shuck. Under Paul’s expert guidance, you will learn the precise technique of opening a wild oyster. For those who prefer a more leisurely experience, Paul will provide live, hand-shucked service, presenting each oyster at the peak of freshness. Savor the distinct, briny complexity of Lake Montauk wild oysters, characterized by their crisp finish and deep-cup clarity. Each tasting is perfectly paired with a flight of artisanal accoutrements. This is more than a raw bar; it is an unforgettable sensory journey into the heart of Montauk’s native coastal culture.

The Aesthetic and Presentation

The experience is anchored by a custom nautical mini-boat display, elevated on vintage wood crates and thoughtfully accented with weathered nautical rope and a classic blue and white striped linen tablecloth. Premium oysters hand-harvested from Lake Montauk will be artfully presented on a high-clarity artisan ice bed with integrated wells for lemon wedges and a curated flight of house-made condiments, including shallot mignonette, freshly grated horseradish, and classic zesty cocktail sauce (served in porcelain vessels). Each guest is provided with a professional grade oyster shucking kit, including a shucking knife, protective safety glove, crisp white dish towel, sustainable bamboo plate, and premium cocktail napkins.
