Never thought about moving to Maine.  

We’re considering it. Summers are perfect. Fall is popular with the leaf crowd. The coastal towns do christmas up big.

There’s skiing to pass the time in the winter. There’s a ski mountain in Camden and a couple of larger ones more inland.

Yesterday morning, wife wanted her breakfast sandwich. I made a different choice. Went into a garage where you can buy Bar Harbor Blondes on the honor system. Borrowed an oyster knife from the folks running our cottages. Sat down and shucked a dozen for breakfast. They’re as good as the Damariscotta River ones.

And, we stopped for a snack at the Shuck Station in Damariscotta.

Glad they had something for my non-oyster-fan wife: scallop ceviche, which was crazy good:

And my order:

Jesus. Tapdancing. Christ.

Blackstones: the most balanced of the briny oysters. Kind of a three-way tie with the Bar Harbor Blondes and the Pemaquids.

Norumbegas: the boldest of the briny ones.

John’s River: the most balanced, briny start, sweet finish.

Heron Island: outstanding…but 4th place on this plate.

I may order a couple more Johns River and Blackstones, because life is for living.

Maine oysters are the best I’ve ever had, fellas. And I’ve eaten a LOT of oysters.

I’m serious, guys. The Divine can be found in many places. One of those places is in the Damariscotta River, where they raise what I’ve discovered to be the finest oysters in the world.

If you love oysters and visit Maine, spend some time here. They even offer an oyster tour of the river, which I would take if we were here for the day.

And the Blackstones and John’s Rivers I ordered for dessert.
