I absolutely love oysters, but if you’re going to get oysters — and especially if you’re going to eat them raw — you might as well get the best ones you can find. Island Creek Oysters (out of Duxbury, MA) will overnight oysters pretty much anywhere in the US for not too much more than you’d buy them at a restaurant.
I grew up on Gulf oysters (Apalachicola) and while I agree they’re good in the winter, the colder year round waters of New England make for a better oyster 11/12 months!

totally agree. need to start flying them in because what's available in Western Pennsylvania (where my folks live) isn't very good
Slightly closer to home for you, Barnegat Oyster Collective out of LBI, NJ also ships some pretty good oysters!
amazing! thank you for these tips
I am always happy to talk oysters!
