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
Oyster heaven
"These oysters are the "just right" balance of salinity and sweetness in the meat itself. Easy to shuck and even easier to eat. A 5 star yum!"
Maine Oysters
"These oysters were of good size and fairly easy to open. Particularly briny but in a good way. On the whole they tasted like the ocean - pretty good."
Excellent
"Fantastic, flavor was excellent for an oyster this size. Please notify me when these come back into the rotation."
Big bruisers
"As advertised, they're big bruisers, meaty and delicious, with lots of liquor. And not too difficult to shuck. I'd order them again."
Wonderful On The Grill
"Big, meaty, very briny. I’m not normally a fan of grilled oysters, but some did go on the grill, and these on the grill were the best I’ve ever had."
Muscle Beach
"We have never received a bad oyster from Island Creek. These were very tasty! The only issue was they were extremely difficult to open - and I am an excellent experienced shucker."
Great oysters
"These oysters were good size, easy to shuck, and nice medium to deep cups full of a nice briney kiss of the sea. I prefer my oysters on the briney salty side and these met that."
Some were amazing. Some were
"Some were amazing. Some were very small and some were withered and dry."
Okay but no great
"There was at least a dozen that were either empty or rotten. We cooked them the day after they showed up and always stayed cool. I think I would try my luck with a different batch next time. The flavor was great on the rest of them I just don’t like wasting money getting that many bad ones"
