Consuming this product can expose you to chemicals including lead, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
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.

"Had never tried these and was very pleasantly surprised with their briny taste. Ate the whole sac with just a squeeze of lemon on each one. I did expect them to be a bit larger though and some were. I like large oysters and ordered these to try because Belon's are out of season and not available. We actually chew our oysters and appreciate a nice mouthful. I believe these will be my go to for occasional orders or some similar."
"Another wonderful experience with Island Creek! FedEx dropped the ball on our delivery, but IC made it right with a new shipment sent out on the day of our choosing. We often buy oysters from other farms when we order from IC - variety is the spice of life! - but there's something special about these original Island Creeks, and we keep coming back to them. Thanks for the great customer service!"
"Once again perfectly cold oysters arrived for the fourth of July all the way to Idaho. Great packaging kept the oysters cold and I appreciate the little tempurature sensor they ship with them. Oysters arrive pretty dirty but nothing a quick rinse won't fix. Order arrived on schedule"
"Tender and not too briny Very easy to shuck with a nice deep cup. Great slurping, along with a good hot sauce and some cold brews on a nice summer day"
"So pleased with the order we had this week. Had friends and family over and went through an order of 100 oysters! Pretty easily I might add. Very delicious and will be ordering again. Thanks, Marc."
"packaged really well!! i was out of the house when they were delivered but they included an appropriate amount of cold packs so no oysters died in transit, even after sitting in the lobby for 5 hours"
"This was a beautiful delivery of 50 Island Creek oysters. They were in excellent condition upon delivery and very delicious! Highly recommend Island Creek Oysters!"
"I live in the boonies and so shipping fresh seafood comes with a little bit of a risk. Last year we ordered 100 Oysters and they got delayed and then misplaced and found a few days later, warm and inedible. Refunded, no questions asked. This year the delivery was on time but we didn't receive a second pound of crab meat. Refunded, no questions asked. These guys are the best when it comes to customer service."
"Delivered on time and very good quality, but VERY small. Not at all like the oysters in the website pictures. Would not have bought them if I saw them in a store."
"Thank you for the delicious oysters, prompt delivery and consistency over the years. Would not buy oysters from anyone else."
