All About Oysters

Amber Waves Farm in Amagansett has planned a series of oyster tastings, starting this evening from 5 to 7 p.m. and continuing on the next three Thursdays in June. Fresh oysters, supplied by the West Robins Oyster Company in Southampton, will be served with beverages and the farm’s house-made mignonettes. The cost is $75. Later this summer, representatives of West Robins will teach a three-week course on creating a sustainable oyster culture and on proper shucking techniques. The fee for the course is $450.
