My order arrived on the day as scheduled. It came in a large insulated container with large blocks of ice. I only had to discard one oyster which had a partially opened shell. Shucking was a new experience and somewhat challenging. The smaller oysters were easier to manage while a few of the larger ones tended to crumble at the hinge and required more aggressive attention. My supply of 50, minus the dozen devoured on the half-shell the day of delivery, stayed fresh in my refrigerator. My next order will be the Black Berry variety and will definitely come from Little Wicomico Oyster Company. I feel really fortunate to have access to fresh Chesapeake Bay Oysters and can’t be more pleased with my experience.
