Taste was spot on
"This was my first loves Point oysters. A bit on the smaller size, but oh word! They taste AMAZING"
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!

"This was my first loves Point oysters. A bit on the smaller size, but oh word! They taste AMAZING"
"They were perfect. I, without shame, ate all 50 myself in a weekend. And I would do it again."
"Ordered 50, arrived two days later all alive and well. Minimally soiled with ocean debris easily removed with a plastic scrub brush. All oyster opened easily with a proper oyster knife. No screw driver or microwave necessary. They were all plump, juicy and 2 and1/2 “ to 3” in size. No huge old tough clunkers. The taste was wonderful, tender , clean, cold, briny and ending with a slight sweet oyster meat flavor. No condiments necessary. Excellence start to finish."
"Love Point Oysters were perfect for our Valentines Day celebration. Just the right size and brine. We had them with Island Creek Dirty Martini Mignonette. Almost heaven!"
"We always order with confidence that the oysters are going to be the best ! Fresh! packed right and on time. And sooooo gooood!"
"Plump meat, easy to shuck oysters with well balanced flavor. One of the best on East coast."
"Very well balanced all around solid oyster, I really enjoied the amount of oyster liquor/juice that these retain from the deep cups that they have. These also came super clean and I barely needed to clean before shucking making it super easy."
"I’ve been shucking oysters and clams since I was a kid…. 30-40 years now. These oysters are the most difficult I’ve ever shucked, and I order from Island Creek 2-4 times a year the last 3-5 years. I was literally only able to shuck 8-10 oysters out of the 50 i bought, and had to grill the rest (unfortunately). These oysters are the perfect size, and have beautiful shells. I prefer my oysters on the half shell, and those i was able to eat that way may very well be in the top 2-3 oysters ive ever had. But be warned."
"Truly exquisite tasting oysters. Freshness was unmatched. Packing was top tier."
"Very shuckable, excellent flavor. These were a crowd pleaser all around!!"
