We’re in the throes of spring, which means that East Enders are increasingly craving a certain sea-based delicacy. Oysters can be found throughout the Hamptons and North Fork, and there are several companies offering delivery or safe, limited-contact pick-up. So pick your favorite oyster dealer, place an order and get shucking!

Learn to shuck oysters here!

Founders Oyster Farm
Locally grown and hand-harvested, Founders Oyster Farm oysters, they say, “are best served and slurped in their natural brine. Located just a few degrees northwest of Shelter Island, where our underwater rack-and-bag farm benefits from the Peconic Bay’s strong tidal flow. Its pristine waters infuse enriching nutrients into our spat to nurture growth, producing a succulent fresh oyster. We practice sustainable aquaculture techniques and are New York State Grown and Certified. Our Eastern Oyster, Crassostrea virginica, is entirely port-to-plate.” Offering fresh oysters from their self-service roadside stand at 140 Founders Path in Southold, or visit foundersyoysterfarm.com.
