Consuming this product can expose you to chemicals including lead, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
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!
Our ClimaCell thermal liners are made of 90% FSC certified virgin kraft paper and corn starch, which allows you to recycle the insulated liner at home along with the cardboard box.
Not only are the liners water repellant, they’re just as insulating as traditional styrofoam AND they can be recycled up to 5 times. Saving the planet has never been easier.

"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"
"Tender and not too briny Very easy to shuck with a nice deep cup. Great slurping, along with a good hot sauce and some cold brews on a nice summer day"
"I live in the boonies and so shipping fresh seafood comes with a little bit of a risk. Last year we ordered 100 Oysters and they got delayed and then misplaced and found a few days later, warm and inedible. Refunded, no questions asked. This year the delivery was on time but we didn't receive a second pound of crab meat. Refunded, no questions asked. These guys are the best when it comes to customer service."
"Penny’s large oysters from Yarmouth ME were delicious. They have a sweet taste with a burst of salinity."
"Taste good! Super Fresh and crisp. Salinity good, a bit more than I like. My 4/5 stems from size. Too small for me! But if you Love super small these are for you! I like just a bit more meat. Tougher than most to shuck. Not disappointing but like others better!"
"I have been eating island creek oysters for years. Never saw oysters this small. Also, out of the 2 dozen I ordered for july 4, 2 were empty."
"These were delicious, but not just small - closer to tiny. I have enjoyed every Island Creek order in the past, but these were below expectations. They were at a special discounted price, but just barely worth it."
"If you're feeling *very* hungry for oysters, you can't go wrong with 2 dozen Island Creeks. My girlfriend had a blast shucking them (she's never done that before) and, of course, we had a better time eating them. Will do this again. Also looking forward to chomping down on those U10 scallops."
"We’ve been customers for a long time and in most cases had good experiences. Not so much this time. The oysters were extremely undersized compared to what we’ve gotten before, with about half of the meat. Not worth what we paid. Seems like as they’ve gotten bigger the quality has slipped. Very disappointing."
"Great quality oysters! Very friendly staff when I spoke with them over the phone. Had issue with my first shipment, was FedEx in my home town that did not deliver my order. When I reached out to Island Creek they apologized even though it was not their fault. They gave me a refund right away, and I was able to place another order."
