Oyster FAQ
- How long do my oysters keep?
-
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.
- How do I store these bad boys?
-
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.
- Should I keep them on ice?
-
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.
- How are they shipped?
-
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.
- Is your packaging recyclable?
-
Short answer: YES!
Our ClimaCell thermal liners are made of 90% FSC certified virgin kraft paper and corn starch, which allows you to recycle the insulated liner at home along with the cardboard box.
Not only are the liners water repellant, they’re just as insulating as traditional styrofoam AND they can be recycled up to 5 times. Saving the planet has never been easier.

Reviews
Won’t miss these again!
"With all of ICO’s selections, I had not landed on these yet. But I did this year, and the Mooks were top notch oysters all around, and these will now be a part of my annual selections. Can’t wait for the Mookie Blues to make their way back to the shucking station!"
Mookies! Meaty and tasty
"We ordered a 100 and I do agree with some other reviews that the size does vary quite a bit and a few were dead. For the price point these were still a very good buy and tasty. Most were meaty and the salinity was perfect."
Mookie Blues
"This one was a rare miss of the quality I’ve grown to love from Island Creek. Oysters were wildly inconsistent in terms of maturity snd formation. A few dry dead, a few nebulous unformed, and inconsistent cups in general. Honestly more like a wild oyster. That being said, the oysters that were well developed were INCREDIBLE. . Delicate in texture w a burst pf sweet creamy saliniity and vegetal undertones. Best with lemon. Love you guys."
Mookie Blues are my new fave!
"Mookie Blues were very good. Just as described - nice salinity."
Not a big fan. . .
"We love Island Creek and order often. However, these oysters were not a favorite. Sizes varied substantially and the oysters were small and not meaty at all. This was a real surprise and disappointment. But live and learn. We'll go back the the varieties we've ordered in the past."
Delicious oysters. Relatively easy to
"Delicious oysters. Relatively easy to open. Nice salty bite and lots of ocean brine. Mookie Blues are one of my favorites, and the dependable quality of Island Creek cannot be beat. Will continue to purchase my oysters from you guys!"
delicious
"Not our first batch of Mookies and it won't be our last. We love the salinity and how juicy they are. Big yums for the Mookie Blues!!"
"As always, fantastic quality, taste and well worth the $2. 00 per oyster! I’ll have to keep an eye out for Mookie Blues, they’re flavorful straight up or with a squeeze of lemon, or mignonette, or if ya like a nice spicy cocktail sauce."

"Fantastic tasting oyster. Easy to shuck and not a bad one out of the 100 we received."
