Serving oysters at home

For a dinner on the Island, plan delivery to an address where someone can receive the box and put the oysters straight into the refrigerator. A dozen serves two as a starter, and a table of four usually wants 24. We can help you choose between French and East Coast varieties.

How to serve

Keep oysters refrigerated until you are ready to shuck. Hold each oyster flat in a folded towel, open it at the hinge, and keep the liquor in the shell. Serve promptly over ice.
