Prompt perfection

"Ordered for Saturday delivery, was delivered fresh and prompt. Shucked within a few hours and absolutely delicious. Love the option of 3 varieties. Aunt Dotty are always such a gem. Thank you!"

— Ellen B. (5/5)

So fun and delicious

"This was the perfect appetizer for a group and a great way to sample a variety. They were distinct in their flavor profiles and everyone had a delicious and fun time trying. I’ve never shucked an oyster before this and it’s totally doable with a few YouTube videos! Don’t be intimidated."

— Sarah S. (5/5)

Best Ever!

"I’ve ordered from Island Creek several times. They never disappoint. I just ordered the sampler. It had oysters from 3 different farms. They were all clearly labeled. Not thinking things through I unpacked them and commingled them in a Tupperware! So I’m getting a surprise every time I get shucking. I must say they were all delicious!!!"

— Rob E. (5/5)

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"

Disappointed

"We were excited to try these for Father’s Day, but these were some of the worst oysters we’ve had. The aunt dollys were the only edible ones of the three, but the other two tasted like dirty, industrial sea water. We couldn’t stomach more than a few and we had to cut our losses. Very disappointing."
