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.

"I (and friends) have ordered a lot of oysters from Island Creek of the past couple of years and have LOVED them all. But these Fin de la Baie Oysters may just be our favorites so far. Small and Briny (just the way my wife likes them). We Absolutely Loved Them!!! Wish I had some pictures but we sucked them down like Coca Cola. Island Creek is Fabulous to work with. No more Virginia oysters for me. Island Creek all the way."
"Salty and plump, these are one more example of the best oyster delivery system! Delivery straight to my plate!"
"Oysters had a great taste and easy to open. However they were the smallest oysters we have ever had! Wish they would let them grow larger before harvesting. I actually doubled them up in one shell."
"If you like small but tasty oysters this is the one to order. All the oysters came fresh and lasted 5 days."
"These were just wonderful! Husband said they were really easy to shuck. Smaller oysters with huge taste. We really enjoyed."
"Some of the best oysters I’ve ever had."
"I purchased for a birthday celebration, did 18 as oysters Rockefeller, remainder were raw with a frozen mignonette. They definitely shine as a raw preparation. Sweet, clean with a briny finish. We were going to grill some too, but decided that would be a waste! In one word, delicious."
"Great tasting oysters! On the smaller side of what I’m used to but would order again for sure."
"Awesome flavor. Easy to shuck. Loved them, maybe some of my favorites"
"This was a good beginner oyster they have a mild flavor and a good texture. They were clean and easy to open. But they are smaller than average."
