Characteristics

Head down Old Farm Road, towards Dodge Cove where the land comes to an arrow-like point. This has been Maine’s version of lover’s lane for generations thus Cupid’s Arrow.

Cupid’s Arrow Oysters are the perfect oyster for any occasion, especially Valentine’s Day. 

Cultured in floating cages just offshore from the peninsula of the Damariscotta River, these oysters are tumbled giving them a deep cup and a firm shell, which makes them easy for shucking. The flavor of its tender meat is slightly briny with a hint of sweetness and a tannic finish. One taste is all it takes to fall deeply in love.
