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."
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."
Mother shuckers
"Mother shuckers loved island creek oysters on mother’s day"
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."
The Duxbury Bay Sampler
"Absolutely incredible Oysters, service was on time and packed perfectly"
So good
"We ordered this for Memorial Day weekend along with some razor clams. We also got a shuck set, which came with some helpful instructions since we had never shucked our own oysters before. Everything arrived exactly on time, and was fresh and intact. The oysters were delicious, so good that we finished three dozen between two of us. Would definitely order this again!"
Raw Oysters
"Good- not great. Got a few bad ones. We’ve had better from this company."
Awesome selection
"We got the Island Creek Oyster sampler (3 different kinds of oysters). Two were labeled (Aunt Dotty and Honey Drop), but one was not. Unfortunately, the dozen that were not labeled had two bad oysters. Other than that, my wife and son greatly enjoyed them and the caviar."
Aunt Dotties for the win.
"I got the Duxbury sampler and each one were unique in their own way all fresh all delicious popped half to enjoy Raw. The rest I use for Oysters Rockefeller. My guests are still raving about them."
