Great Oysters
"Very clean, easy to shuck and very tasty!"
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!

"Very clean, easy to shuck and very tasty!"
"Some of my all time favorites. Perfect size, great salt and nearly spotless beautiful shells. The easiest oyster I have ever opened. I will buy every time they are available."
"Least favorite we've gotten from island creek. They were fine, not amazing. On the small side and no distinctive flavor to speak of. They were easy to open."
"These may be the best oysters we've ordered from Island Creek Oysters. They were excellent both raw and cooked. I can't wait to order them again!"
"These 2. 5 inch oysters were easy to open. They were clean, tender and good brine with a lot of liquor. Will order again."
"Absolutely amazing! Salty and refreshing!"
"Delicious! We enjoyed them so much last Thanksgiving Eve that we are going to order them again this year!"
"Just as described! Briny and then sweet. Very good."
"These were the very worst oysters I have had in my life. I cant believe you sell them. The were dark black/brown in color, had not shape and zero taste. Awful and we threw them away. They looked rotten and smelled the same. How dare you charge so much for this garbage? I have rated some of your products before. Most good to very good. Several very bad to awful. You never respond. What is the point of my writing all of this out when you probably don't read it. . or definitely don't respond. Very poor customer service."
"Excellent. Easy to open. Wonderfully briny. Perfect with a single drop of Tabasco. You can taste PEI in every one. f"
