"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"
"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."
"I have been eating island creek oysters for years. Never saw oysters this small. Also, out of the 2 dozen I ordered for july 4, 2 were empty."
"If you're feeling *very* hungry for oysters, you can't go wrong with 2 dozen Island Creeks. My girlfriend had a blast shucking them (she's never done that before) and, of course, we had a better time eating them. Will do this again. Also looking forward to chomping down on those U10 scallops."
"We’ve been customers for a long time and in most cases had good experiences. Not so much this time. The oysters were extremely undersized compared to what we’ve gotten before, with about half of the meat. Not worth what we paid. Seems like as they’ve gotten bigger the quality has slipped. Very disappointing."
"Great quality oysters! Very friendly staff when I spoke with them over the phone. Had issue with my first shipment, was FedEx in my home town that did not deliver my order. When I reached out to Island Creek they apologized even though it was not their fault. They gave me a refund right away, and I was able to place another order."
"just want to say that my experience with Island Creek was rad from the jump. called on a Monday just to make sure if I ordered that day, that everything would arrive by Friday. was immediately placed on hold, and the hold music was Led Zeppelin, which put me in a great mood. only got a little way into the first verse before I got to speak with someone, who assured me that everything would arrive on Friday. Friday came, my 50 oysters and lobsters arrived. we ordered the 4 lobsters, but when we opened the box, there was an extra! (ssshhh, don't tell Island Creek) the oysters were delicious and the lobsters were big and meaty. we'll definitely be ordering from Island Creek again in the future!"
"I always have a positive experience with Island Creek Oysters. This batch was delicious, with one oyster that arrived dead out of 50. The osyters were divine. We will keep coming back!"
"They arrived on time and perfectly chilled, even here in Sw Florida, where it is scorching hot! Briny and delicious, not a “dud” in the bunch! Will definitely order again!"
"Small and sweet; just 100% delicious. Have several to our friends to have with their 5:00pm martini’s and they went wild over such a perfect accompaniment! Many thanks to Skip Bennet and all the crew for an exceptional product!!!"
