Our Flagship oyster, grown right here in Duxbury, Massachusetts. We may be biased, but we think these oysters are pretty damn near perfect. The quintessential East Coast oyster, they’re consistent yet complex, with up-front notes of ocean brine and seaweed, and a smooth, sweet finish. Deep cups encourage plump meats for a toothy, chewy bite you can really sink your teeth into. Well balanced from beginning to end, these oysters are ideal for oyster newbies and seasoned pros alike.

"I’ve been ordering from Island Creek since 2019. The product is usually very high quality. The shipment of ICOS oysters that I had last weekend was subpar. Most of the oysters did not have liquor. Several had a substantial off flavor. We did not finish the 50 oysters that we had ordered."
"Hello Island Creek Team, Thank you for reaching out for feedback. I’ve ordered from you several times before and have always been impressed—including with this week’s order, which shipped on Wednesday and arrived promptly on Thursday with incredible service. They were packaged tight and were still very cool. Unfortunately, I was quite disappointed with the quality of the oysters in this particular batch. When opened, they had very little liquor/juice, and about 5 of them (10%) had already opened in transit and had to be discarded. Given how much I usually enjoy your oysters, this batch fell well short of the usual standard. Thank you for listening, and I look forward to my next order. Best regards, Grover Allgood"
"Had never tried these and was very pleasantly surprised with their briny taste. Ate the whole sac with just a squeeze of lemon on each one. I did expect them to be a bit larger though and some were. I like large oysters and ordered these to try because Belon's are out of season and not available. We actually chew our oysters and appreciate a nice mouthful. I believe these will be my go to for occasional orders or some similar."
"I know these were larger ones, and they went well, however we had to throw 8 or so away due to rotten/crumbled and yellow umbo sections. Unsure if it was due to the larger batch (usually order small) but the shells weren't as great as usual."
"We’ve ordered several times for special occasions and have never been disappointed by the freshness. The quality of these oysters is only rivaled by the quality of the buying experience. As advertised: fresh, delicious, and on time. What more could you ask for?"
"These were indeed large oysters! I found them a bit more difficult to open than regular ICOs. I needed a longer oyster knife. But they were briny and very tasty. We grilled about half of them with your suggestion of butter and tabasco. They were fabulous! We will probably go back to regular oysters for our next order but this was a new and fun oyster experience."
"I already submitted a review but anyway, the oysters arrived on time and with good packaging that kept them real cold. The oysters were delicious. Can't wait to try your other varietys. Thanks for the great service."
"Sent Island Creek Oysters to our daughter in NY for her birthday. They arrived as scheduled and were promptly opened and eaten. “They were scrumptious”"
"Another wonderful experience with Island Creek! FedEx dropped the ball on our delivery, but IC made it right with a new shipment sent out on the day of our choosing. We often buy oysters from other farms when we order from IC - variety is the spice of life! - but there's something special about these original Island Creeks, and we keep coming back to them. Thanks for the great customer service!"
"Once again perfectly cold oysters arrived for the fourth of July all the way to Idaho. Great packaging kept the oysters cold and I appreciate the little tempurature sensor they ship with them. Oysters arrive pretty dirty but nothing a quick rinse won't fix. Order arrived on schedule"
