We saw some reviews of Scully and it sounded like it was too good to pass up. They're just getting started as of now (fall '22) but I'm hoping to see great success. There's a tank of lobsters there, but we were going for oysters. There were 3 buckets in the refrigerator and some that had just come out this morning. We sampled one each. They provide a cloth and knife to do your own shucking on site, and some picnic tables to sit down and eat. We stood at the shucking station and chatted with the very nice and knowledgeable manager. These were larger than we usually prefer, but because they were so fresh and super clean, they were fine. Tender, sweet, and perfectly briny. All slightly different flavors, but all better than we had tried that day. As we were going, a couple of (knowledgeable) local folk came by to pick up some for dinner. They confirmed that this was the place to go. Enjoy!!

Some laminated photos are passed around to the group as well. The group then progresses down a path to the Riverside and dock where again, things are explained and the group is shown, the oysters that have been harvested and are awaiting their trip to the retailer wholesale place where they will be consumed... If you are looking for a very scientific and lab type of place that begins the whole process of oyster farming from spawning to harvest , this is not the place for you. If you are looking for an easy listen and semi interesting 1 hour tour where you get to learn how to shuck and get to taste some oysters at the end, you'll like this tour. The employees here are very friendly and willing to help you and give suggestions as well..

My husband and I have always been a bit shocked at the prices yes. So we have not shopped here much…read moreover the past few years. But. Not wanting to spend another $50 on lunch at the usual places in town we decided to grab some tuna salad today and eat outside. I bought an Asian salad with noodles and peanuts and carrots and incredible dressing. I swear, this was the best salad I've had in months if not years. I'm not kidding. Even the carrots stood out, were different. Delicious. The fennel is 2 or 3 times bigger than fennel at the grocery stores, $4.99 (usually about $3.99 at the others) 4 kinds of plantain chips. Fantastic low sugar pineapple soda from Mexico. Beautiful corn. After eating this food today at a picnic table over on Pemaquid Pond, we are doing a complete reversal and going to start shopping here a lot more. Yes it's expensive but vegetables do taste different, esp when they're not flown in from far away. And the attitudes of the employees is joyful and welcoming, such a good feeling. Good Job Rising Tide!

So I had this desire, but what could I do with it?I I got on line, and decided to call Rising Tide, I spoke with their front desk manager Kate, who is fabulous by the way, and within no time she jumped on board my bandwagon. They don't have a delivery service, but another wonderful employee said she would be happy to deliver my gift. Within an hour they put together a lovely gift bag for me. Fresh flowers, a bottle of red wine, an array of organic chocolates, a yummy creamy cheese, specialty crackers, grapes, and a lovely card. Kate even wrote my personal sentiments inside the card for me. In about one hour they took my desire to do something nice, and brought my wish into fruition. Talk about angels on earth!! Kate accidently forgot to charge me for the grapes, and wanted to pay for those herself. I can never say enough about the employees of Rising Tide Co-op and their hearts for service. Bravo my friends!! Thank you for all you do!! You deserve acknowlegement for just being you! You can bet if I ever make it back to your area, Rising Tide will be my first stop! I can't wait to meet you!

Or they will cook them for you to eat at a dockside picnic table and watch the lobsters being unloaded, weighed, and held until retailers pick them up. We ordered a just a pound of clams and a 1.5 lb lobster and butter to share. You can also purchase some sides and drinks. In hindsight we could have brought our own bread, salad and wine or beer and that would have been OK. But the seafood was enough for us. Very low key, no frills, and the lobster couldn't be fresher.
