Join us for a one-of-a-kind evening celebrating one of the North Fork's greatest treasures...local oysters!
Our instructors are Elizabeth Peeples and Stefanie Bassett of Little Ram Oysters, two of the North Fork's most respected oyster farmers and the people who know these waters better than almost anyone.
This isn't just a cooking class, it's an opportunity to step inside the world of oyster farming and experience the journey from bay to table. Through stories from life on the water, hands-on instruction, cooking, and plenty of tasting, you'll discover what makes North Fork oysters so exceptional and how the unique conditions of our local bays shape every shell.
We'll Learn, Make & Taste
- Oyster Farming 101 — Learn how oysters are cultivated, harvested, and cared for from the farmers who grow them.
- Freshly Shucked Oysters — Learn the technique of safely shucking oysters with confidence, taste local oysters at their peak and learn how to beautifully serve them at home.
- Compound Herb Butter — Make a bright, savory butter with shallots, lemon and fresh herbs, then spoon it over oysters and broil until bubbling and golden.
