Twin Oars Raw Bar Co. is the passion project of Dan Hough, a born and raised Boston local and self-taught expert in the art of shucking. Dan’s journey into the oyster world began with years spent working in New England restaurants, where he developed a deep appreciation for the region’s seafood, its aquaculture, and the people who bring it to life.
Inspired by the resilience of New England’s coastal waters, Dan founded Twin Oars Raw Bar Co. to share the exceptional quality of local oysters with his community and beyond. The company is built on a simple philosophy: to offer the freshest oysters, clams, crab, and shrimp, sourced responsibly, and served with care.
Dan’s commitment to sustainability is reflected in every aspect of the business, from working with local farms that prioritize environmental health to ensuring that each shellfish is carefully handled and delivered with respect for both the sea and the craft of shucking.
In addition to raw bar services, Dan offers shucking classes for those looking to learn the craft from the experts themselves. Twin Oars also provides full-service event catering, bringing the fresh flavors of New England right to your door.
From shore to shucker, Twin Oars is all about honoring New England’s waters, one perfect shuck at a time.
