Buy Oysters

I recommend the following growers, one from each coast, for superb oysters and expert shipping.

Hama Hama Oyster
Lilliwaup, WA 360-877-5811

Elegantly frilly Hama Hama oysters in several sizes, crisp Blue Pools, extra-briny Summerstones, and killer smoked oysters. A family operation since 1922.
Island Creek Oyster
Duxbury, MA 781-934-2028

The gold standard of Eastern oysters. Crisp, firm, and very briny, with that unmistakable lobster-stock finish. Wellfleets, too!
