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!

"We like trying all the different types of oysters and comparing taste. These were smaller, yet packed with flavor. Not very salty, but delicious. My husband thought they had a cucumber flavor. They were clean and easy to open. We paired with mignonette, horseradish, lemon, oyster salsa and crystal."
"And I've eaten THOUSANDS. Perfect size, relatively deep cup, plump and buttery meat, brine up front and a very pleasant vegetal finish. Also, very shuckable. If heaven's got an oyster bar, they're stocking these!"
"Had 50 last night at a pre-snow/ice storm We had 50 last night in a pre-snow/ice storm with neighbors. Simply some of the best, briney oysters yet! Perfect size for slurping right off the shells; easy to shuck; will order again 4 sure. 👏 with neighbors. Simply some of the best from ICO. Salt winds are aptly named; easy to shuck, perfect size for slurping right off shells."
"These oysters are clean, nice size, and easy to open. The tast is crisp and clean with a hint of brine. We like them best broiled with spinach, bacon, bourbon."
"Pure ice cold Northeast brine. The name is fitting as the salinity was certainly forward and clear. Easy to shuck and they arrived in great condition. They were a crowd favorite and I would absolutely order them again. Quite possible the best oyster that I have had."
"Rather small and not meaty as others have described. Maybe this time of year (early Feb) is not a good time to order. Easy to shuck, though."
"great oysters"
