Oyster Shucking

All of our oysters at Black Point Inn are opened to order by the sure hands of our fabulous kitchen team. We mainly serve the famous Damariscota Oyster, sometimes we serve Glidden Points. We are especially proud to carry oysters from the Nonsuch Oyster company, located just across the way. We show these special, local oysters on Tuesday Nights during our weekly Live Jazz on the deck.

Strawberries at BPI

admin — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 18:45:05 +0000

Strawberries!

Strawberries just walked in the back door from Moorebrook Farm about ½ mile away. The weather is helping to shape up good solid crops. Rhubarb has been strong and we just finished the incredible local asparagus. Our pastry chef Bill Leavy has just put out a new dessert menu that’s getting great reviews.

Seafood! First article from “Columns from the Kitchen”

admin — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 20:49:25 +0000

The first in a series called “Columns from the Kitchen”, articles about what goes on, into and out of the kitchen at Black Point Inn. This one from Kelly Arsenault who works on the “cold line” in the kitchen.

“Summer in Maine is prime-time for seafood, and when you’re located directly on the coast (I mean literally, a stone’s throw from the ocean) there is no excuse for having anything less than the freshest, best quality seafood available. The kitchen of Black Point Inn prides itself on using local products, which is why it is no wonder they have turned to Browne Trading Company for much of our seafood investments. Browne Trading Co. is based in Portland, Maine, (only 15 minutes from the inn) and ships its products to restaurants throughout the country.

Different kinds of fish, like plants and animals, live in different locations and thrive during different parts of the year, which is why Browne Trading Co. works with fishermen all over the world to get their customers exactly what they need to operate their businesses and accommodate their menus. Just last week, The Point was serving delicious Loup de Mer, “wolf of the sea” in French, a European sea bass. This fish is caught off the French cost along the Med Sea. I was just in France this past April, and the fish sitting on the counter in our kitchen looked just as fresh as the ones I saw at Vieux Port in Marseille France, directly off the boat; clear eyes, beautiful gills, absolutely gorgeous fish. It was even more phenomenal after it was grilled and accompanied by local fresh picked fiddleheads and a leek and potato hash.

Aside from traditional fish n’ chips and baked haddock dishes, The Chart Room and The Point both serve exquisite meals with components of the sea. For example, the Seafood Sampler is composed of peeky toe crab salad, poached shrimp, lobster salad, crab claws, arctic char grav lox, and salmon roe with a house-made lemon garlic aioli. Now that’s a taste of the coast!”

Sunset project, take #1.

admin — Sun, 10 May 2009 15:42:28 +0000

The first in an installment of sunset images at Black Point Inn. The inn is unique in that the sun sets over the water and the Pine Point beach beyond, and can be seen each night from the seats in the Chart Room and on the Porch.

Last night our photographers were out in force attempting to capture the sunset. This one might be hard to beat. We had a very intense thunderstorm blow through from the West just before sunset, and so as the rain lifted the sunset revealed was quite extraordinary. But you can let us know what you think.
