Sailing down the Eastern Seaboard from our neighbors to the north with a splash of flavor reminiscent of the cold waters in which they're grown, East Cape oysters complete this trio alongside two of our favorites.

This edition of the sampler is a combination of two of our classic oysters, with a unique addition from the north: plump, balanced Island Creeks from right here in Duxbury, plus buttery, creamy Moon Shoals and, salty, bright and clean East Capes.

12 Island Creek Oysters from Duxbury, MA
12 Moon Shoal Oysters from Barnstable, MA

Reviews

So fun and delicious

"This was the perfect appetizer for a group and a great way to sample a variety. They were distinct in their flavor profiles and everyone had a delicious and fun time trying. I’ve never shucked an oyster before this and it’s totally doable with a few YouTube videos! Don’t be intimidated."

— Sarah S. (5/5)

Great sample platter

"Purchase the sample platter for Father’s Day, and the oysters were excellent. Some friends of ours that didn’t care for oysters, we were able to convert. They paired well with the caviar we purchased…. Kaluga"

Disappointed

"We were excited to try these for Father’s Day, but these were some of the worst oysters we’ve had. The aunt dollys were the only edible ones of the three, but the other two tasted like dirty, industrial sea water. We couldn’t stomach more than a few and we had to cut our losses. Very disappointing."
