Meet the TRU PEARLE Oyster, Our Ocean’s Finest Treasure

TRU PEARLE is an oyster like no other—and you can find it only at Truluck’s.

Let’s talk oysters—but not just any oyster. At Truluck’s, we’re excited to introduce the extraordinary TRU PEARLE, our exclusive, farm-raised oyster available daily for our guests to enjoy. TRU PEARLE is more than an oyster; it’s a statement of quality, sustainability, and culinary excellence.

An Oyster Like No Other

Complex, luxurious, and deeply evocative of the sea—oysters are one of nature’s delicacies. But TRU PEARLE is not your average oyster. So, what sets it apart?

Picture this: full, plump meat; a buttery, creamy texture; and a salty, clean finish that tastes like a kiss from the ocean. TRU PEARLE is a premium East Coast oyster that has been hand-selected and raised with care, precision, and purpose. Each shell is perfectly sized at 3 to 3.5 inches.

To craft something special, Truluck’s knew we had to partner with the best. That’s why we’ve teamed up with the experts at Atlantic Aqua Farms, who are renowned stewards of the sea and pioneers in sustainable aquaculture.

With a deep respect for sustainability and quality, the team at Atlantic Aqua Farms raises each oyster in the pristine Damariscotta River in Maine, a place where cold, clean waters from inland streams mix with the salt of the Atlantic. This unique waterway blend creates an environment where oysters absolutely thrive. The result is a clean, ocean-forward flavor and texture that reflects the purity of its source.

By choosing aquaculture over wild harvesting, we’re supporting healthy oceans and ensuring a consistent, premium product year-round.

“TRU PEARLE is a standout. It’s elegant but unpretentious—rich, briny, and pure,” says Truluck’s Corporate Executive Chef, Thomas Dritsas. “This is the kind of oyster that requires no embellishment. Served chilled and freshly shucked to order, it exemplifies purity and freshness.”
