Buy Oysters
I recommend the following growers for superb oysters and expert shipping.
| Glacier Point Halibut Cove, AK Icy crisp oysters from Greg and Weatherly Bates, grown in the pristine–and yes, glacier-fed–waters of Kachemak Bay at the tip of the Kenai Peninsula. |
Fishers Island Fishers Island, NY 631-788-7899 Artisanal oyster from a magical island, raised by Team Malinowski in hanging lantern nets. The epitome of oceanic. Free shipping to the Northeast. |
| Real Oyster Cult Duxbury, MA Exquisite selection of the country’s best oysters, changing weekly, curated by oyster farmers Rob Knecht and Sims McCormick. Both the app and website make it super easy to ship oysters directly to your door. |
Island Creek Oyster Duxbury, MA 781-934-2028 The gold standard of Eastern oysters. Crisp, firm, and very briny, with that unmistakable lobster-stock finish. Island Creek also ships Wellfleets from the bay’s most esteemed farmer. |
| Hama Hama Oyster Company Lilliwaup, WA 360-877-5811 Elegantly frilly Hama Hama oysters in several sizes, crisp Blue Pools and Sea Cows, extra-briny Summerstones, and killer smoked oysters. A family operation since 1922. |
