Mirbeau’s Oyster Excursion begins with transportation from Mirbeau to Plymouth’s waterfront where guests will board the Katie Marie, captained by Nate Cavacco of Plymouth Watersport Charters, to take them to the oyster flats and enjoy a selection of white and sparkling wine as well as hors d’oeuvres to include Petite Maine Lobster Tartin with avocado and cilantro sea salt; Charred Tiger Shrimp Brochette with Espelette pepper aioli; and Beach Plum-Glazed Long Island Duck “BBQ”.

Upon arrival to the oyster flats, guests will learn about our local oysters from Bill and Connor Doyle of Plymouth Rock Oyster Growers, and will have the opportunity to collect their own before enjoying a seaside dinner prepared on the beach by Executive Chef Daniel Kenney. Dinner begins with a variety of preparations of Plymouth Rock Oysters: freshly shucked with lemon-lime mignonette, fresh horseradish cocktail sauce served on ice; grilled with Portuguese chorizo butter, shaved Grana Padana, and Espelette pepper; and Plymouth Rock Oyster, Maine Lobster and Smoky Sweet Corn Chowder.

The beach dinner will feature a farm-raised Mussels Sauté with garden herbs, shallots, and chilies, followed by cast iron-roasted Georges Bank Sea Scallops with a Plymouth Rock Oyster beurre blanc, celery root, and nasturtium.

The evening’s entrée will feature a carved Tenderloin of Northeast Farms Beef with butter-poached Maine Lobster, grilled country bread, Great Hill Blue Cheese aioli, succotash of garden vegetables, and Hudson Valley foie gras with organic caviar fondue.

Before boarding the boat back to the harbor, guests will enjoy a dessert of Strawberry Shortcake a La “Maison” with dulce de leche Chantilly.
