Your oysters keep in the refrigerator for 5-7 days! You can order a day or two early to make sure you have them in time for your gathering. They are totally fine hangin’ out in the cool air.
When you receive your package, pull them out of the box (these guys need a little fresh air!). Grab a mixing bowl and throw the mesh bag in the bowl so that the oysters don’t leak all over your refrigerator. Grab a damp cloth and throw the cloth over the bowl. You are good to go for the next 5-7 days. Doesn’t hurt to dampen the cloth each day to keep them moist and chilled.
Only put the oysters on ice before service. The oysters will actually die in the melted fresh water so do not store the oysters on ice. They will not like this.
We ship using FedEx Overnight service. You will receive tracking info after the label has been printed the day before your oysters are set to arrive. We do not require a signature – Fedex will leave your package at your doorstep.
Short answer: YES!

Beach Plum Oysters from Westport, MA are known for their bright salinity and dense creamy meats. While many customers praise their wonderful flavor and freshness, some find the shells brittle and hard to shuck. Kerian Fennelly operates the only two commercial oyster farms in Westport, offering a unique ocean operation at the mouth of Buzzards Bay.

"We had Beach Plums and Norumbegas from Ipswich Fish Market and Beach Plums were our favorite. While the shells were on the smaller size, they were full and very tasty. We spent extra time washing them given the reviews here and didn’t experience any grit in our shucked oysters. I would definitely get these again!"
"Unfortunately, I was not impressed with these oysters. They were very small, not very briny, brittle shells and muddy. When I opened the first few, I noticed mud in the brine. I checked the rest of them and found several with mud n the hinge area. So I ended up scrubbing the entire remainder of the shipment under running water. I'm sure they were cleaned before they were shipped but the structure of the shell allowed them to retain the mud in the hinge area. I feel sure others may have had a different experience but I was disappointed with these. I'm not saying they were bad, I'm just saying they were not my type of oyster. I will not order Beach Plums again."
"Island Creek Oysters never disappoint, and their Beach Plum oysters are one of many examples of why they’re so beloved. The oysters had a beautiful briny flavor with a smooth, clean finish, and were incredibly fresh upon delivery. Each bite captured the essence of the ocean, making them an absolute delight for any oyster lover. Enjoy it with a simple mignonette or by itself, Beach Plum oysters are a true treat. Highly recommend!"
"I Love the freshness of the oyster. The texture was on point. Variance was expected of nature."
"These were ok. Small and not as “meaty”. Had to toss 3 bad ones. Flavor was ok, but still prefer your Duxbury ones."
"Time for me to reorder. I truly enjoyed these oysters"
"Just purchased 100 count of beach plum oysters. 25 percent of my was dried up 50 percent of the oysters were translucent and or had black growths or deformed shells"
"Will not order these oysters again. They were very tasty, clean, and briny, but very hard to shuck with brittle shells. 5 Stars for the Island Creek as a company will be ordering again from here often."
"Very different from our local oysters in Cape May, but delicious. Strong flavor of the ocean, almost sea weedy."
"Enjoyed these - easily shucked as well."
