It’s been a wild and wonderful month. Full of weddings and full of people connecting to meaningful places, where we get to do what we do best- create a hyper-local crafted meal that tells a vibrant story in celebration. From a couple who caught their own tuna (!!), that we served raw with fermented chili oil and lemon zest…. Serving heirloom tomatoes that were the most exquisite tomatoes we have EVER witnessed with stracciatella, basil oil and cucumber white balsamic, heirloom tomatoes grown by the groom’s father and enjoyed on that same farm as the wedding location… a custom menu and seasonal ratatouille with eggplant that was beyond gorgeous- and of course our oysters from our farm on the raw bars - all hand sorted for each event. Hanging out with Teddy the highland cow watching us while we worked one weekend, and feeling the ocean breeze as the bride and groom were about to leave by boat the next…. We are so lucky to get to do this work with these magical ingredients for such incredible people. We also love that so many clients are choosing a family style meal- we think passing a plate of food a round a table is one of the best things in life!

This is just a quick peek… so much more and more weddings soon….!

We were invited to create a signature dinner at the Cape Cod Winery last month. Here’s some highlights:

✨Bonilla à la Vista potato chips and veggie crudités with tonnato dip

🍅Tuna crudo bites with tomato water and lemon zest

🌱House flatbread with local clams and castelvetrano olive gremolata

🍑Peach and cherry salad with stracciatella and grilled ciabatta

🐟Halibut with garlic scape pesto and grilled cherry tomato

There was more, like a giant tiramisu that evaded photos but… on a 90° day- this was one to remember.

Been so busy with raw bars, the food truck, weddings, events- we haven’t had a moment to stop and collect up some photos to share! Let’s take it from the top of the season, starting with our signature raw bar and lobster boil dinner for a fun group at AutoCamp Cape Cod back in May. This group also took part in an oyster shucking lesson, and now possess a highly coveted skill- shucking oysters that were harvested from our farm that morning.

We’re cooking up a mid-summer meal next Wednesday July 15th at the Cape Cod Winery Cape Cod Winery - inspired by memories of the Italian coast, with a Cape Cod point of view. There are only 40 tickets- you’ll dine beneath the pergola, enjoy a grazing spread and a spritz with white clam flatbreads, cheeses, olives and charcuterie, tuna crudo, peach and pickled cherry with burrata and balsamic, tonnato dip with chips… then a rustic salad followed by halibut with blistered tomato and lemon herb gremolata….and finally head to the tiramisu table.

We’d love to see you there - it’s going to be a special evening and we can’t WAIT to bring our vibrant local flavors to East Falmouth! Tickets at the link in our bio-
Get one before they’re gone!

Seed day on the oyster farm! These guys are headed into our solar powered upweller, where they start their life on our oyster farm in the nursery in Monk’s Cove. The upweller has a continuous pump that brings in all the good phytoplankton to the baby oysters so they grow up strong. Half a million oysters move through our floating upweller each summer and will be in the market and on our raw bars by late 2027 and 2028! 🌊

Looking back to 2013 - our 2nd year farming oysters, having no idea what the future would hold- we were just trying to do a thing. We wanted to be a part of our local ecosystem and contribute positively to the ocean around us. We brought aquaculture back to our town of Bourne 50 years since it vanished, and a crazy idea became a one acre farm.

We side hustled through the next few years until we perfected our technique and methods to grow what we felt was the perfect oyster, and we had started to appear on menus from Cape Cod to Boston. But then came the pandemic- and with it, restaurants closed- so we pivoted fast to become a wholesaler to sell direct to customers.

As the world opened back up, we decided to keep our oysters local, and started selling at farmers markets, and sold the catch of other local fishers and wild harvesters as well. We also sold lobster rolls and shucked oysters at the farmers markets, and it was the start of our next chapter in retail and catering.

We grew so fast that we quickly needed a brick and morter shop. When Cataumet Fish was for sale, it was the biggest leap we’ve taken in our lives- but we knew it was right. We had a crystal clear vision of what we wanted to create.

From just the two of us on a boat on weekends as a side hustle- to our retail market, a catering business (booking into 2028!) a 7-acre oyster farm with 3 grow out locations, and wholesale business - it’s crazy to find ourselves here, built on all of the literal blood sweat and tears that goes into building a small business.

Seeing some of those same first customers that we sold oysters to from the parking lot of the Gray Gables Market during the pandemic still visit us regularly at Cataumet Fish, getting to work with our family and friends, and continuing to support local fishers, wild harvesters and small batch makers is what keeps us going, because the blood, sweat and tears never end with a small business!

Come visit us this weekend - we’ve got a great local seafood lineup going into a warm summer weekend!!
