Matunuck Oyster Bar

Matunuck Oyster Bar is loaded with the greatest oysters, cherrystones, littlenecks, and shrimp from Rhode Island. The restaurant's pond-to-plate oysters are paired with farm-to-table veggies and herbs. To make the best dishes, great care is made in farming the highest quality seafood and organic veggies.

Classic calamari appetizers are on the menu, as well as a one-of-a-kind quinoa crab salad with vegetables and a lemon vinaigrette. Local fish and organic veggies from their farm are included in soups, salads, and sandwiches. Jambalaya served over rice to Alaskan king crab legs are just a few of the seafood meals available. A variety of steak, spaghetti, and chicken dishes are available to round out the menu.

Perry Raso's place is a naturally laid-back affair, located right on Potter Pond alongside his shellfish beds and organic produce farm. The picturesque setting provides all the mood lighting and decoration it needs, and the passing of the seasons determines only minor tweaks to the menu, as the staples are the staples for a reason.

Aside from oysters in every shape and form, you're obligated by unwritten state law to have the fried calamari with cherry peppers, clear clam chowder, and at least two stuffies (stuffed and baked quahogs), all of which are Rhody staples.

Following that, potato- or pistachio-crusted fish, as well as plain and basic boiled lobster with lemon and butter, are favorites, followed by white chocolate-dipped key lime pie—on a stick! You wouldn't anticipate a good wine selection in this extra-casual setting, yet there is one. Still, a Bloody Mary with oysters or a local craft beer is the perfect patio drink.
