How they’re grown: Like many Barnstable oysters, the Spring Creeks are grown above the sand in rack and bags (their nursery) and are moved to trays (final grow out). They are tumbled at various points in the process to promote their nice deep cup and round shape.

How they taste: They have a beautifully delicate and mild flavor. It’s a big lease, so the oysters are planted at a very low density. They also get all of the best nutrients the surrounding creeks have to offer, so they have thick shells and great meat texture. If the Moon Shoals, which are grown nearby but further out into the bay, are rock stars (with knock your socks off fruit, salt, and cream) the Spring Creeks are ballerinas — beautiful, complex, and sweet.

Why they’re unique: Barnstable Harbor’s drastic tides (14 feet) are a contributing factor to the flavor imparted onto these wonderful bivalves. The tides bring in salty ocean water and pull nutrient rich water from the marsh.

Story: Coming from a family of farmers and shellfisherman, Paul has been on the water working with oysters and clams his entire life! Paul graduated from Massachusetts Maritime Academy in 2010 and started his farm in Barnstable soon thereafter, following in the footsteps of his parents. Paul has been steadily growing his operation since then, as he looks to expand into new acreage as family members retire.

That is my last time

"That is my last time I’ll order oysters online . Very hard to open and half of the oysters were throw aways . I was really disappointed. After third day I just tossed what was left in the trash ."

Perfect size with excellent taste.

"Perfect size with excellent taste. I usually like to broil the oysters for about a minute. But we ate 90% of them raw and they were great. Will definitely be ordering more."

Deliciously perfect

"I’m so happy I ordered these oysters. I’m terrible describing the flavor but these oysters had a smooth sweet ending flavor. They arrived on Saturday here in SC, we didn’t start cracking until Sunday and finished them off on Monday. Every single oyster was fresh! I will definitely order again! Thank you so much."

Nice Salinity

"These Spring Creek Oysters were just as described. Easy to open, slightly sweet but with a nice minerality and salinity flavor profile. Very enjoyable on their own as well as with a Sherry Mignonette. The salinity was great with a homemade cocktail sauce!"

— Trey S. (5/5)

First time buyer

"These set a high bar. Easy to shuck. Delightful. Have kept well for 7 days. Based on this experience will continue to purchase."

— Greg P. (5/5)

Great product and service

"Couldn’t have been happier with our experience with Spring Creek Oysters! Considering we are on the other side of the country the oysters we FRESH and ice packs still completely frozen, not a single dead soldier out of the 100. The quality and taste of the oysters was on point and also the shells were very clean which mean only a quick rinse was needed before chucking. We will be ordering again for sure!"

— Jim S. (5/5)
