After more than two years in the making, raw bar and grilled seafood spot The Pearl made its Dorchester debut on Wednesday.
Located at the South Bay shopping center, The Pearl showcases an abundance of bi-valves, crab legs, and seafood towers, alongside classic seafood plates like crispy calamari, shrimp scampi, lobster macaroni and cheese, and cold and warm lobster rolls.
Luther Pinckney who co-owns The Pearl with his wife, Teda DeRosa-Pinckney, and family friends, Mika and Malik Winder said the restaurant’s specialty is its char-grilled oysters, which are topped with garlic parmesan butter.
“One of our managing partners, Malik Winder, has an excellent grilled oyster recipe,” Pinckney told Boston.com. “It’s unique to us in the city. It’s something he’s been working on for about six years or so and has gone through a couple different iterations.”
