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 have wanted to try North Havens for some time and they did not disappoint. These are some of the best oysters I have ever had. They were plump and sweet. They also had beautiful shells and were the easiest to shuck of any that I have tried. I would definitely order these again."
"These Oysters are fantastic! I had a lot of oysters and these are by far the best ones ever. Everyone needs to order these asap!"
"Some of the best eastern seaboard oysters I have had. Medium sized, deep cups, just the right amount of firmness and a delicious low salinity balance with a delicious hint of savory/nutty/butter richness. Fantastic."
"My friend Jeff McKeen recommended Adam Campbell's North Haven Oysters when his were sold out at Island Creek Oysters. Best recommendation ever! My friends all commented on how meaty and tasty these beauties were. It made my party!"
"I have ordered oysters from IC many times. Usually I love the oysters and can’t get enough of them. These were just not to my taste, though. Very disappointing."
"The flavor of an oyster is an illusive concept. These oysters are simply very nice. The color is lovely and the shucking is gratifying."
"For years I have heard about the North Haven oysters. At least two food shows raved about them and several famous chefs. All I can say is they live up to the talk as they are some of the best oysters I have ever had. I sat down with my shucker knife and ate 50."
"Beautiful green shells, and very easy to shuck. Probably a 6/10 on salinity, but some mignonette granita played perfectly with them. Delivery was fast and perfectly packed. Smelled like the bay. Can’t wait to order from Island Creek again!"
"These Oysters shucked nicely n were an ok size. Disappointed in the flavor as there was not much. Pretty oysters for sure."
"Excellent oysters!"
