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!

"I ordered 200 oysters for my husband’s 30th birthday party and it was an absolute success! The oysters shipped quickly and arrived all in perfect condition! The cups were large, meaty and had great flavor! I would describe them as clean, some salinity, and sweet! We will definitely order these again!"
"Some friends and I vacationed in South Carolina and had 150 oysters delivered to out VRBO! I ordered three different kinds and we had a little feast! The Buttercups were the winner! Delicious! (Some of the Island Creeks were dry with no brine at all. I tossed those…) But the rest were amazing. Love your customer service and love how reliable you always are. Thank you so much for always providing such a delicious treat!!!"
"I was severely disappointed in the oysters we received. They were very thin and barely filled out the shell. It took 3, on average, to equal 1 normal sized oyster. Even the larger shells we’re seemingly empty. The liquor was so salty and bitter that we had to rinse them off before consuming."
"Great product all around; as usual. Our first time getting the ‘large’ variety. You can still enjoy them raw, but they aren’t as sublime as the younger/smaller versions. Perfect on the grill or in the oven for Oysters Rockefeller! I’d say 60% were large, 30% were extra large, and 10% were huge. Same flavor profile across the board though. Will definitely purchase again. I would keep in mind oysters of that age/size aren’t as resilient as younger oysters, so be prepared to eat them within the first 3 days or so. -In my opinion"
"We ordered the oysters to celebrate a milestone anniversary. They arrived as promised and were amazing! I was also surprised to find the partnership mignonette seasoning between Island Creek Oysters and Spicewalla was available at a local chef center (and is also available on the Island Creek website). The seasoning was a perfect compliment! As a sidenote: we ordered from Island Creek once before and shipping was delayed a few days. The company stood behind their product and gave us a refund, which gave us confidence in ordering again. Thank you!"
"I sent to my friend who loves oysters and lives in Montana and they were a perfect birthday surprise. Fast shipping makes them taste so fresh!"
"Love the Duxbury oysters. A favorite, up there with Damariscotta"
"I’ve been ordering from Island Creek since 2019. The product is usually very high quality. The shipment of ICOS oysters that I had last weekend was subpar. Most of the oysters did not have liquor. Several had a substantial off flavor. We did not finish the 50 oysters that we had ordered."
"We love island creek oysters! Always fresh with quick and reliable delivery. No complaints!"
"Hello Island Creek Team, Thank you for reaching out for feedback. I’ve ordered from you several times before and have always been impressed—including with this week’s order, which shipped on Wednesday and arrived promptly on Thursday with incredible service. They were packaged tight and were still very cool. Unfortunately, I was quite disappointed with the quality of the oysters in this particular batch. When opened, they had very little liquor/juice, and about 5 of them (10%) had already opened in transit and had to be discarded. Given how much I usually enjoy your oysters, this batch fell well short of the usual standard. Thank you for listening, and I look forward to my next order. Best regards, Grover Allgood"
