When hosting a small group of friends, there are few better ways to impress than with three dozen oysters. Better yet, serve up a mix. Here are three of Cape Cod's best: salty Chathams; buttery Moon Shoals harvested by a firefighter in Barnstable; and sweet Island Creeks, which have made cameos at both The White House and The French Laundry.

Here's what you get:

  • Three dozen (36) oysters, including 12 Chatham oysters, 12 Moon Shoal oysters and 12 Island Creek oysters

Island Creek Oysters Duxbury, MA

In 1992 Skip Bennett of Duxbury, Massachusetts decided—along with 15 other local growers—to raise and harvest oysters using low-impact, sustainable methods. The result? Brilliant oysters found on menus from the White House to The French Laundry.

Why We Love It

Island Creek oysters are on acclaimed restaurant menus nationwide, from San Francisco’s Fifth Floor to Chicago’s The Publican to New York’s Aldea. They’re plucked from pristine Massachusetts waters and shipped to you in the very bag they first live in on the oyster boat. These are among the best New England shellfish we’ve found, with all the hallmarks of that region’s oysters—briny and bright, sweet and beautifully craggy in appearance.
