Flying Point oysters are a family-farmed variety from Maquoit Bay near Freeport, Maine. Harvested at 4” in size, they have feathery, layered meat and a salty-sweet flavor with a musky finish.

Flying Point seedlings are grown in a floating nursery system until they reach 1” to 2” in size. Then they are moved to the bottom of the bay, where they are planted directly on the bottom. Here they consume the rich nutrients brought to the bay through the confluence of the Cousins and Royal Rivers, growing plump & sweet over the course of about three years.

These oysters have been stored in a high tech refrigerated flowing seawater system post-harvest that keeps them fresher, tastier, and alive longer. While in this wet holding area, they naturally clean themselves of sand, bacteria and grit by filtering the clean seawater.

Storage: If you will be eating your Flying Point oysters soon after arrival, you can simply store them in a bowl in your refrigerator covered with a damp towel.

For ideal longer term storage, you may want to keep them on ice with the “cup” side of the shell down. See how to store shellfish for a tutorial.

Shelf Life: 7-10 days from date shipped.
