I ordered the 100 sampler pack for my 40th birthday. I live in Wisconsin and the oysters came quick and very fresh. We ate fresh oysters for 3 days and then fried the rest for amazing oyster poboys. Out of the 100 only 2 were bad, both came from the smith point oysters. I'm very happy with that percentage. We loved all 4 of them. Our favorites were the blackberry, our least favorites were the smith point. They were definitely thw hardest to shuck. The oyster knife that came free is a great oyster knife. They even put a happy birthday sticker on the box. That meant a lot to me. I definitely will be ordering more oysters again next year for my birthday.
