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."
