The Franklin has been bringing progressive, sustainable seafood menus to Portsmouth since 2015, carrying on the tradition of an historic oyster house in the same space that originally opened in 1867. The restaurant is the sister restaurant of popular area dining spot Moxy, serving up raw bar selections alongside a globally-inspired tapas menu. Diners can choose from a wide selection of raw oysters sourced from around New England, including Cape Cod and Great Bay favorites. Grilled oysters are prepared with toppings like poached pears, herb butter, bacon jam, and tomato bravas, available individually or by the half dozen. Housemade charcuterie selections pair with small plates like fish tacos, tuna poke, and baby octopus panzanella, served up alongside entree selections like oyster po'boys, Hawaiian shrimp skewers, and hot honey buttermilk fried chicken plates.
