New England oysters are wild and farmed bivalves from Wellfleet on Cape Cod, Duxbury Bay south of Boston and Damariscotta in Maine. The signature raw-bar plate at Boston seafood rooms since the 1820s.
Boston's oyster-bar tradition runs unbroken to 1826, when Union Oyster House opened on Union Street and became the oldest continuously operating restaurant in the United States. Daniel Webster, US Senator from Massachusetts, ate his oysters at the U-shaped bar with a tumbler of brandy from 1830 onward. Wellfleet oysters from the outer Cape Cod flats and Duxbury Bay row 34 oysters, named for the literal 34th cultivation row in the bay, became the defining house-bay varieties. The modern raw-bar revival traces to Island Creek Oysters (founded 1995 in Duxbury) and the Row 34 restaurant chain (2013).
