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.

"On the smaller side. Shells were inconsistent. Some were hard to open because the shell broke in the process. Some were almost dry on the inside. Flavor was average / slightly above average. Creamy, sweeter meat, low salinity in my opinion."
"I took a chance on these even though they were new and not yet reviewed because they sounded good, and for a qty of 50 at $1. 99 a piece, the price was worth the gamble. (Normally you have to order 100 Qty to get that price) Also I have never been disappointed in the 5 orders I’ve placed so far from ICO so I thought I’d roll the dice. To start ICO made the order process extremely easy and the free and fast overnight shipping came through on time without any problems. I also really like how in addition to the tracking information you can easily access through your account order details, they send you an email the second it’s delivered. The insulated packaging is always impressive, and the oysters arrived well insulated, intact and cold to the touch. ICO also provides instructions on how to store and care for them. As for appearance, at first glance the oysters were very clean with no scrubbing required. If anything just a slight rinse under cold water to wash off any shell bits and debris. I have attached photos of the top and bottom of a shell for reference. The shells, although uniform in size, varied a bit in terms of how deep the cups were. Some were nice deep cups while others were almost flat. Although the description states that these are easy to shuck, i found that of the numerous varieties I have ordered these were by far the most stubborn. Further, the shells had a great tendency to crumble adding to the frustration. Out of the 50 I ordered 9 were bad. (I attached a photo as reference) The bad ones were dried up inside with no liquor and kind of shriveled up. That’s nearly 10%. Now as far the ones that were opened on the half shell, and in good condition, they looked very nice and fresh. I have attached a photo as reference. Now for the taste. When comparing them to ICO’s Duxberry’s, Wellfleets, and Norumbegas, these just fell short. It’s not that they were terrible but they just weren’t of the same caliber. In other words they satisfied my oyster fix, but I wasn’t like “OMG these are incredible!” It’s completely possible I got an off batch of these and another shipment might prove different. Like I said for the price it was worth the gamble for me."
"Great oysters as always"
