Product Description
Iron Island Oysters are ruled by the seasons. In late winter and early spring, before the dandelions bloom, our oysters are surprisingly full, with a mild taste, and a sweet finish. In the summertime, when the swallows are racing in and out of the barn and the young ones are trying out their new wings, you'll find them with a full salt taste and a tang that stands out all on its own. In the fall, around about the time that the leaves have fallen and the wind starts to sneak towards the easterly, the salt remains, but you’ll also get a rich, lasting umami flavor, as the oysters fatten for winter. In all seasons, they are full-meated and have good shuckability.
Our Iron Island Oysters are available to buy online for overnight shipping, local delivery, or curbside pickup in Maine.
The Iron Island Oyster Farmers
John and Dana got to be friends nearly 20 years ago through the world of oysters, and began the NICE Oyster Company in 2014 as a way to enjoy the outdoors, the physical work of farming, and to grow a quality product that's good for people and the environment.
Oyster shucking kit
Our Iron Island oysters can be ordered in 12 count, 50 count, or 100 count bags. We offer oyster shucking kits here. The shucking kit includes a high-quality shucking knife and an FDA approved puncture resistant glove.
**Please Note: Oyster Availability/Substitutes**
If your chosen oyster farm is unavailable at the time of shipping, we will select a substitute oyster for you. That substitute oyster will be as close to your chosen oyster as possible in size, location grown, and flavor. If the oyster farm you select is particularly important to you, please leave a note for us in the comments. The note can read (Please let me know if “insert oyster farm” is unavailable). If we see this note and the oyster you have selected is unavailable, we will contact you to discuss options. Options may include a refund or changing the shipping day (to a day when the farm has dropped off more of their oysters at our facility).
