Perfect Valentines day
"Came a little dirty, nothing a good rinse can’t fix, oysters were easy to shuck as were the clams (with the right tools), enjoyed both raw with a classic mignonette, a touch of chilli oil and my favorite white wine."

Half and Half Oysters and Clams
"Freshness and delivery were great. Lost half a dozen clams and one oyster to breakage. Unfortunately this happens, usually to shipping hazards. Otherwise, excellent."
Excellent as always
"50/50 deal combined with their top shelf caviar, got 40% off the caviar which always makes things more enjoyable. All the clams and oysters are always so great from these guys, ive ordered hundreds and i have NEVER had a single one arrive dead, all are alive and perfect. i have 3 different sites that ill order oysters from. But ICO is by far the best, maybe not the least expensive but still the best. The last 2 times i got caviar it was incredibly enjoyable. The first time i ever got caviar from them years ago, i was not a fan, but if you spend a bit more on their best caviar its incredibly enjoyable. If you ever get a chance to order their live scallops in the shell, do it. Thats one of their best seasonal offering in my opinion. When i eat both the clams and oysters, ill enjoy them both raw and also cooked just to keep things interesting, and they are delicious any way ya do it. Thank you"
oysters were really small and
"oysters were really small and some totally dry, with no water left in the shell. clams were very good."
Best clams and oysters
"Delicious and a great deal for a party"
"Salty really refreshing oysters! The clams were great over pasta seasoned with garlic, white wine, parsley, and butter!"
Oysters were too small. Clams delicious.
"The oysters were delicious but too small for the effort of opening them. We prefer more plump and larger oysters. We had to wash them for a long time to get the grit and dirt off the shells so it didn’t get into the edible section. Clam shells were sandy, but once rinsed, and opened, they tasted great and were a great size. Your clam and oyster knives are great. And the gloves are a perfect comfort and safety addition to the process."
"Have been ordering for my years and Always enjoy our orders! Very reliable fresh product to our home in the midwest. Highly recommend"
