Island Creek

"The quintessential East Coast oyster, they're consistent yet complex, with up-front notes of ocean brine and seaweed, and a smooth, sweet finish. Deep cups encourage plump meats for a toothy, chewy bite you can really sink your teeth into. Well balanced from beginning to end."

"With a highly segmented flavor profile, strong salinity up front gives way to vegetal, buttery richness and a long sweet finish. These complex flavors are attributed to a life spent on the ocean floor, dug into the mineral-rich mud of Duxbury Bay."

"Island Creeks have an amazing butter-and-brine taste. They are as salty as all getout, making them the classic Boston partner for a pint of Sam Adams Lager, and every single one is delightfully firm and beautifully clean tasting."

"Midsized white-and-black shells and firm briny meat with a lobster-stock finish. Island Creek is the best known of the many Duxbury Bay oysters."

"Rich with a bisque note on the finish. Firm meats, but petite size. They typically have an attractive, more roundish shell which is interesting."

"A pop of salt faded into oblivion as the sweet, citrusy tastes within the oyster emerged after a few chews. This oyster possesses a wonderfully fresh brininess, but a clean finish. The meat is moderate."
