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!

"These were wonderful, as all the Island Creek oysters I’ve enjoyed over the years have been. I was astonished, though, at the small size of this order, about half the size of every other Damariscotta oyster I’ve ever opened. These guys were all silver dollars — delightful slurping, but way too tiny to consider putting any on the grill. A little disappointed at the lack of abondanza…"
"We discovered Island Creek Oysters while vacationing in Portland, Maine, where we had some incredible oysters at The Shop. I was pleasantly surprised to find that we could order them online with overnight delivery. We ordered 50 Blackstone Point oysters from Damariscotta, Maine, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. The packaging and shipping were outstanding. Everything arrived perfectly chilled, and they even included a small thermometer so we could verify the oysters stayed at a safe temperature during transit. The oysters were already very clean, easy to shuck, and incredibly fresh. The taste was exceptional, just like enjoying them right at the source in Maine. We live in Florida, and even our family members who were hesitant to try oysters ended up loving the flavor and quality. We will definitely be ordering from Island Creek Oysters again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for an authentic, top quality oyster experience at home."
"I kept saying WOW after every oyster - so great - so much flavor packed into each one!"
"Really enjoyed the 50 oysters we got but were disappointed by the small size."
"They were delicious"
"Brine bombs just like I like them. I noticed a few folks commented on these being smaller than they expected. Not sure if it’s lack of experience with NE oysters or what but mine were perfect size. Around 3”. Beautiful brine as mentioned with light melon notes. Paired with some hogwash or just plane and they were perfect for bringing in the new year. These are the quintessential Damariscotta oysters I dream about."
"Very Tasty and most were easy to open. Had plenty of liquor and lasted for 5 days. The 13 that I had on the 5th day were still fresh. The picture shows them."
"So delicious. Brought them to a small music festival and made many a friend."
"Taste was good, good level of brine. They were a bit smaller than I expected…. compared to island creeks and some others."
"Awesome clean very tasty oysters ,perfect size ! Love them"
