For raw bar lovers of every variety
2-HOUR CRUISE ABOARD PATRIOT OR INDEPENDENCE
Much like a wine tasting, these guided experiences feature a diversity of sustainably-sourced fruits de mer, selected to showcase nuance and subtlety of premium seafood.
For oyster tastings, explore the briny nuances between two or more cold-water oyster varieties from the Chesapeake and Atlantic estuaries, led by Oyster Master Guild ambassador, Hannah Puckett.
For caviar tastings, indulge in a curated selection of Sevruga, Ossetra, and Beluga caviars with specialty accoutrements to compliment this premium tasting experience.
