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!

"I recently ordered 50 Norumbega oysters for a Saturday delivery. Due to inclement weather, the shipment was delayed until Monday morning. I was expecting to see some unhappy oysters when the box arrived. But no! There was not a bad oyster in the lot. I was astounded. They were so delicious!"
"We just finished off 50 Norumbegas. it was not our 1st batch and it won't be our last. These oysters are briny with vegetal undertones, easy to shuck and plump little guys. Yum!"
"The brine was great . Clean shells and easy to pop open. The size was a nice 2.5-3 and tasty ."
"These are the best oysters I have ever had. Each one had a full shot of clean salt water in them and were easy to open. I served them at the restaurant and every person said they didn’t need a thing. No lemon, no mignonette or hot sauce. I can’t recommend these oysters enough."
"The oysters were as advertised: plump meaty and delicious. What was unexpected was each oyster had a slightly different taste as if harvested from a different part of the river bed."
"This was worth every penny. My family and I enjoyed shucking our own oysters, and the flavor profile was great."
"Shipped overnight to Charleston South Carolina. Delish!"
"Among the best we have ever received from island creek. Sweet and briny at the same time and were wonderful. Shared them with friends, one of whom didn’t think she liked oysters until these!"
"They were a bit on the small side, but they were easy to shuck, and absolutely fantastic taste. The brine was exquisite. Well, definitely order more in the fall. When the weather cools"
"The oysters were clean and fresh, taste exactly like they were described."
