Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our fresh shellfish and delivery process.
How are the oysters packaged for shipping?
Our oysters are packed in insulated coolers with frozen gel packs to maintain a temperature-controlled environment from our farm to your door.
How long will the oysters stay fresh after arrival?
When kept refrigerated between 34-38°F, oysters can remain fresh for up to 7-10 days after harvest, though we recommend consuming them within 3-4 days for peak flavor.
Do I need to be home to receive my delivery?
No signature is required, but we highly recommend retrieving your package as soon as possible to ensure the product remains at the proper temperature.
Are the oysters pre-shucked?
No, we ship our oysters live and in the shell to ensure maximum freshness and quality. Shucking tools and guides are available on our site.
Where are your oysters harvested?
Most of our oysters are harvested directly from our farm in Duxbury Bay, Massachusetts, while others are sourced from trusted partner growers across the Northeast.
Can I freeze fresh oysters?
We do not recommend freezing live oysters in the shell, as it kills the organism and significantly degrades the texture and flavor.
