The Local Palate Editor in Chief Erin Byers Murray is our resident oyster expert. She lived and worked on an oyster farm in Duxberry, Massachusetts, in 2009. There she took a deep dive into the oyster industry for her first book, Shucked: Life on a New England Oyster Farm and has revisited the topic in a new cookbook, The Row 34 Cookbook (Rizzoli). Out October 12, 2021, it’s a collaboration between Murray and Jeremy Sewall, the acclaimed chef-owner of Row 34 oyster bar.

Row 34 is a classic New England oyster bar. A staple among the Boston, Burlington, and Portsmouth neighborhoods, Row 34 has also garnered attention from Bon Appetit and GQ magazine. The restaurant fills an essential role in uniting the oyster farmer, fisherman, and consumer, along with the communities surrounding each.
