It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Locally shucked. Rhode Island loved.
At Ten Prime Seafood, we take pride in showcasing the best of Rhode Island’s coastal waters. Our oyster selection is sourced directly from local farms across the state, from the cold, briny tides of Narragansett Bay to the crisp, clean shallows of Ninigret Pond.
Our goal is simple: to feature every Rhode Island oyster throughout the year, celebrating the unique flavors, textures, and stories behind each harvest. Whether you’re a seasoned oyster lover or a first-time slurper, every visit brings a new taste of the Ocean State.
We care deeply about what we serve because it’s how we eat, too.
Our kitchen is 100% seed oil–free — we cook only with butter, extra virgin olive oil, sesame, coconut, and avocado oils. We use organic eggs and chicken, grass-fed beef whenever possible, and only local or wild-caught seafood. Because our health, your health, and the health of our community are all connected.
