2024 Oysters

Editors’ choice

CK Pearl, Essex

CK Pearl has figured out how to create the ideal oyster-slurping experience. First, of course, are the bivalves themselves, sourced from Duxbury and Martha’s Vineyard and anyplace known for flavorful, plump oysters, and then served classically with cocktail sauce and mignonette. There’s also the refined-but-casual ambiance: We suggest sitting on the riverfront patio and ordering a glass of cava or a blackberry gin sour to accompany your oyster feast. 112 Main St., Essex, 978-890-7378, ckpearl.com
