We are thrilled to bring you Samish Beauties from the Samish Bay. These Oysters are harvested by our friends at Puget Sound Shellfish, a family-owned, multi-generational business in the Bellingham, WA area. Puget Sound Shellfish is widely known as a provider of high quality, locally grown oysters and as a leader in tideland stewardship. 

Puget Sound Shellfish oysters are meaty, with a clean, fresh taste and distinct flavor. These Pacific Oysters are raised in bags above the rocks and sand, which provides better water and feed circulation and growing conditions. Every order is hand-packed to ensure a consistent, uniform and quality product that will delight even the toughest critics. 

Puget Sound Shellfish is regulated and inspected by the Washington State Health Department and Washington State Fish and Wildlife Department.

No need to cook! Here are instructions on prepping your oysters for enjoyment.

Shucking an oyster can be a delicate process, but with the right technique, it’s easy to enjoy fresh, delicious oysters at home. Here's our step-by-step process: 

Tools Needed
Oyster knife (a short, sturdy knife with a pointed tip) - Grab a bundle to get a shucking knife included with your oysters!
Clean kitchen towel or oyster glove
Optional: Lemon wedges, cocktail sauce, mignonette sauce, or hot sauce for serving. We recommend our Crab Captain's Vinaigrette.

Instructions

Holding the oyster firmly with the towel or glove, locate the hinge. The hinge is the point where the two shells of the oyster meet. Insert the tip of the oyster knife into the hinge, positioning it at a 45-degree angle. Gently wiggle the knife into the hinge while applying downward pressure. Once you have leverage, twist the knife to pop the oyster open.

Slide the knife along the top shell to cut through the muscle that connects the two shells. Keep the blade as close to the top shell as possible to avoid damaging the oyster. Slide the knife under the oyster meat to detach it from the bottom shell.

Serve the shucked oysters immediately with your choice of accompaniments such as lemon wedges, cocktail sauce, mignonette sauce, or hot sauce.

Looking to enjoy your oysters beyond their arrival? Explore these storing best practices from our partners at Puget Sound Shellfish below to ensure the best experience with your Fresh & Wild Oysters:

For optimal freshness, it is advisable to shuck oysters immediately before serving. Should there be a need to store them temporarily, it is recommended to place them in a refrigerated, uncovered container, ensuring to cover them with a clean, damp towel. To preserve their quality, it is best to consume the oysters within three days of their delivery.

What tools should I have to prepare my oysters?

We recommend having an oyster knife, clean kitchen towel or oyster glove, and garnishes ready to go. Our bundle options arrive with a shucking knife and Crab Captain's Vinaigrette, making the prep work for enjoying your oysters easier!
