Great sample platter

"Purchase the sample platter for Father’s Day, and the oysters were excellent. Some friends of ours that didn’t care for oysters, we were able to convert. They paired well with the caviar we purchased…. Kaluga"

The Duxbury Bay Sampler-A great order

"Was the perfect amount of oysters and variety for just a few of us, and with the same quality that I have come to expect when ordering from Island Creek."

Brian F. (5/5)

excited

"I was excited to receive this sampler and was also pleased with how easy it was to place the order and receive it without any effort on my part. I was not so happy when it received the order and one of the sampler bags was not labeled. I had forgotten what I ordered and since I was preparing a large dinner didn't have the bandwidth to check it. After shucking I felt that the difference in taste was indistinguishable. I will order again and try others but this first order was kind of a disappointment."

Great Sampler

"We enjoyed the mix of oysters, led to nice conversation of what each individual liked or didn’t like in the flavor. Recommend it for small group happy hour."
