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!

"My last delivery from ICO were 50ct Moon Shoal. Once again, perfect delivery, perfectly fresh (alive) oysters. Each and every “cup” shucked perfect, with a tasty brine. Usually I’d expect a couple duds from a 50ct bag. Not a single one. I personally will shuck and eat all 50 over a 3 day period with delivery as day 1. Lower the frij temp a bit, place the bag in a large Corning ware bowl and cover with a moist cloth. Outstanding!"
"Oyster's were fantastic! Arrived on time. Made great Rockefeller, Shooters, and on the Half."
"We really enjoyed the Moon Shoals from Barnstable! Cups were deep enough for these size oysters, and they were easy to open. Almost as good as the Pemaquids from Damariscotta that we bought last year, which were the best ever!"
"Always my favorite oysters! Small with just the right amount of brine"
"Delivery was great and on time. They arrived the next day, fresh! They are quite small and to be honest, I think the flavor of them when eaten is not as good as I hoped. I ordered 50 and was able to split and share them with my brother! Overall, I was pleased but looking forward to trying another kind."
"The oysters were excellent!!! The oysters were all intact and we had them refrigerated for a couple of days. I had ordered the shucking kit but it was inadvertently left out of the shipment. I emailed customer service and the kit was sent for next day delivery. I was very happy with the response and the oysters! I highly recommend Island Creek!"
"Nice oyster to start the R season. Small, plump and tasty, invites a chew. Also a great beginner’s oyster or restarter’s oyster after oyster-less summer doldrums. Try with no additions. Surprising complexity on a naked finish."
"Oysters arrived on time and were fresh and delicious. I recommend Oyster Bay to anyone who wants great oysters, anywhere. I will definitely be buying again."
"Fantastic. Very uniform, small cup shaped and super-easy to shuck. Quality product. Thank you. Island Creek has always been consistent. Hard market to do it in, and they make the shipping process effortless"
"Ordered for birthday weekend celebration. Great communication with everything arriving as planned. Excellent packaging that included info card with tips and instructions for both novice and experienced shuckers. The Moon Shoal Oysters are a perfect size and delicious. Thank you and look forward to reordering."
