Month in month out ROC provides the best oysters. This month's offering were Wellfleet & La Saint Simone. Both were great with La Saint Simone being ever so slightly our favorite. ROC has not disappointed since we joined the oyster of the month club. Every order is delivered on time and every delivery is fresh & delicious. Here in Kingwood, Texas, we can get gulf oysters almost year round but these petite, delicate & naughty oysters from ROC are truly a monthly treat. Can't wait for our next monthly delivery.
And as a side note, my shucking talent has exponentially increased with each order. DON'T BE AFRAID TO SHUCK YOUR OWN SINCE THESE OYSTERS ARE SO SHUCKING WORTH IT!

Excellent oysters on time seem to have gotten better toward the third month but that could be just what they harvest. Highly recommend this company to oyster lovers. Absolutely spectacular and cheaper than a restaurant.
Victoria C.
These were the best oysters I've ever had - both kinds! Living in AZ, getting fresh seafood is not easy but this has been a godsend ❤️

Ginger lime compound butter and green onion with parm-y panko.
This was the end of my kosher salt, but the Walrus & Carpenter and Joly were BIG. They sat up nicely on what little I had.
Got the butter melted and hot on the stovetop, bubbled 'em up in the oven for a bit, dropped the oniony crumbs on top and broiled for a second.
Lovely!
Thanks!
Barbara L.
The Walrus and the Carpenter are our hands down favorite of the year! Sooooo great!
Angie C.
Loved the oysters. I didn't receive the shucker, oyster diary & gloves with first subscription order due to a simple mistake. They answered email & shipped out right away! Great company!
Jonathan N.
Great taste looking forward to the next batch
William P.
This was my first shipment since joint the club , oysters were shipped on time , absolutely delicious!! I started with a 20 pack but definitely upping my Oder to 40 next month !! From south Louisiana, the shells were a little more delicate than the gulf oysters im used to , but after altering my technique a little I was golden . Can’t recommend them enough ❤️❤️
Charles A.
WOW! Every month something different but always good. This month's winner was Sailor's Valentines. Small but with a gigantic taste. Had them as an app with grilled Ahi tuna. These guys (ROC) never disappoint. Sometimes I order an add on and was only surprised once. Got some crab claws that won't quite up to par but you just live and learn. Otherwise really happy with the monthly orders. Would highly recommed ROC and the monthly subscription.
Ashley Y.
Always good! Love the Pink Lady’s!!
Scott G.
Absolutely spectacular different oysters every month not familiar with too many of them but looking forward to my next order. Thank you.
Nancy P.
Both varieties were wonderful.
Charles B.
I have been getting 100 oysters a month for a number of years and I can't wait for my box to arrive the beginning of every month. They are fresh, clean, full of liquor and well packaged. I enjoy the variety of farms in each box. Being so fresh they last for a long time so there is no need to slurp them down in a weekend.
My only quibble on the last batch was the bag of Salutation Cove oysters had a number of oysters with bore hole in their shells. The shells crumbled and the liquor ran out and I was spitting out shell pieces when chewing the meat. About 70% affected.
I assume it was an aberration and it will not change my monthly order.
Cheers!
Mya L.
Absolutely a treat. So delicious. I would definitely recommend. And when I had questions and technical trouble (because I’m like 100 years old) with adjusting the delivery date they always responded promptly to my emails. They were personable and friendly and helped answer my questions. So a double win in my book and definitely a business worth supporting!
Yonnic A.
Delicious! Packed and shipped well 10/10
Scott G.
Excellent excellent excellent I’m just hoping my second delivery is three different kinds and I was told that there’s discounts on different items that you sell
LISA S.
They were great!!!!
tobias m.
More or less what it felt like. I felt like a king depleting the kitchen stock. MMmm, goood.
Shirley & Scot W.
These oysters were perfect, better than I can buy in Seattle!
Richard G.
great oysters--makes our evening with friends
Todd M.
Loved the PEI oysters
Richard H.
Always great service and selection of very fresh oysters. This is THE place to go for your oyster cravings!
Tania Q.
I am loving getting my fresh and amazing oysters every month! Great experience trying and learning more varieties!
Justin S.
Never a disappointment! Looking forward to next month. I may just order before.
tobias m.
I steamed them for a coupla minutes. Then I wolfed them down and didn't cry at all. They were excellent. They reminded me of oysters most of all.
Charles A.
Another excellent experience with ROC. Oysters arrived well packed & iced. Since this is our second delivery, I'm getting fairly good at opening them. The oysters were tasty with a slight hint of brine. Living in Kingwood just north of Houston , we can get gulf oysters all the time but nothing here can stand up to a good eastcoast oyster. Highly recommend this company and the 3 month deal were you get 20 oysters per month for 3 months let's us sample different types. These guys are the "real deal". Can't wait till next month! Thanks!
Roxana J.
Loving my orders so far. We get to experience oysters from regions we've never tried before - New Brunswick and PEI oysters have been so great. Everything is fresh, customer service is responsive, reliable delivery. I'm very happy with ROC!
Ben M.
Delicious! Love the variety I can get through the Cult.
Stephen H.
This has been the best gift for my significant other. We receive 20 oysters a month which we have shared with friends and love ones. Something we all look forward to each month.
Vic W.
Absolutely fabulous!
Guy G.
Always fresh month after month!
Ashley V.
This was our second order, and both orders contained the best oysters we’ve ever tried. We have had oysters in many fine dining venues, and we have to say that these have been the most memorable.
Robert K.
Love the variety and surprise each month.
Richard G.
Our group gets together monthly for Oysters and Lobster. We have the get-together in the best backyard in town and simply have the best time. I am so glad this wonderful opportunity has worked so well- Relax, Enjoy, and Feast
Shirley & Scot W.
In addition to our shipment of 20 we needed a few extra oysters so I bought a dozen local as in Seattle local. The oysters in our shipment were better!
Carol Z.
We had a variety new to us, a little on the small side (feel that pun coming?) about 3" called Chebooktook, from BOUCTOUCHE BAY, NEW BRUNSWICK. Yes, I copied and pasted that, no way I was going to try to remember how to spell that Bay.
No picture of 2 soggy adults around a picnic table in Rockland Maine in a torrential downpour waiting for a break to get to the Blues Festival. We did it though and it was worth it. Yummy oysters, very balanced, hints of East Coast flavors.
Shawn H.
Oysters, Rockefeller with roasted broccoli
Brandon S.
Excellent customer service and can’t say enough about the oysters!! Will definitely be ordering again
Richard H.
As usual, a nice mix of oysters. I particularly liked the Belle du Jour from New Brunswick - nice hard shells & easy to pop with lots of semi-firm meat. Quite a nice oyster!
Ashley Y.
My Dad and I look forward to this treat every month!
Carol Z.
Loved our 40 oysters picked by you all and our 2oz of caviar picked by us while chillin on the houseboat up and down Lake Champlain!
Rebecca B.
Amazing! We shared this with family and it was so fun to debate our favorite oyster type.
Mark L.
What this may lack in presentation, is more than made up for in taste. Big slurps full of sweetness. The oysters almost opened themselves. Sooo good.
Don D.
Excellent quality two great choices packed very well for shipping
William S.
Hey, you can beat northern oyster especially from PEI, Canada and Maine. The oysters were excellent, fresh, and a great choice for the month.
Shawn H.
Loved everything!!
Morgan S.
It was so yummy! Cant wait till next box.
Jane M.
The base for oyster stew- Yum!
Kendall B.
Such fun to recieve these tasty treats! We are now master shuckers and love the tasting booklet!
Sal F.
Prince Edward Island Oysters Rock!
Jon-paul H.
Really enjoyed.
Tara B.
Absolutely great experience!!! My wife loved this Christmas gift. It was a great surprise for her to see where the next shipment of treats was from and how the taste differed. Thanks Real Oyster Cult for such a wonderful gift.
Vic W.
Consistently consistent! The best!
Mark M.
First two oysters were both excellent. Excited for the next order to arrive!
Gary B.
The oysters were very fresh and clean when they arrived. I usually had to clean the ones I received from another company or the fridge would smell like the bay. They were very delicious and I had them finished in 3 days.
tobias m.
Nothing is better than a boxful of oysters; it's like letting a little piece of the ocean inside my house.
David L.
Great variety of oysters this month. One of them was a bit large, so we ended up smoking them and they were equally delicious!! We've enjoyed the subscription way more than we thought we would, and once a month is perfect timing.
Mary Ann S.
Great Mother's Day gift. She loved them!
Charles B.
Great people supplying great stuff at a good price. My monthly fix from ROC is always eagerly anticipated and savored to the last bivalve.
Charles B.
These guys are the best. Fantastic quality that if stored properly lasts 2 weeks in a good refrigerator. super variety and reasonable pricing.
Enjoy the best of both coasts even if it goes to the Midwest.
Alexis C.
I loved this shipment of oysters! I don't remember what they were called now and it would be helpful to have an easy way to log in to my account to see the oyster history. But one was small, creamy, and sweet. The other was larger, briny, and juicy. Both delicious plain - I didn't even use lemon or mignonette.
Ben M.
Fun to try different varieties!
Richard G.
Our racing partners gather around the oysters and champagne once a month to discuss current plans. No one ever misses the meeting!!!
Sarah W.
Briny, delicious!
John O.
We turned the duo into a trio this time around. What we found:
Chelsea Gem - Eld Inlet, Washington
Mild flavor, mild to medium brine, somewhat minerally, robust texture, deep cups
Standish Shore - Duxbury, Massachusetts
Medium brine at best, buttery texture, minerals
Shigoku - Washington
Maybe the perfect oyster. Great texture – I need to find a word that is somewhere between “buttery” and “crunchy.” Brine was medium not heavy and even throughout, flavor and umami well balanced and even throughout, a little sweetness is evident. Very deep cups which require an extra slide of the knife to dislodge the meat. Wow.

Leigh H.
Delicious oysters. Shipped perfectly. Fulfilled my request for 20 to slurp, and 20 larger to chargrill. So happy to have found The Real Oyster Cult!
L L.
Love the service. It is great to try a variety of locales and tastes.
Dr Robert E O.
Best oysters you have ever sent. Easy to shuck, lots of juice & delicious
tobias m.
I'm too old to shuck oysters. I just like to eat them. So, I heat the oven up to 550 degrees, and stick a tray full of oysters
in. They're open within 5 minutes, and I can eat them without the possibility of stabbing myself to death. Death is close enough anyhow; I don't want to bleed out on the kitchen floor.
Ashley Y.
The carnage! So delicious. This has become our monthly treat!
DeAnna N.
Everything about this was great - from shipping to eating!!
Charles B.
Oysters were fresh and tasty as always. Belons are great but I didn't get any West Coast oysters that I asked for. I am not sure if they weren't is stock,but a taste variety is always appreciated.
Cheers,
Chip
Richard H.
Another fine shipment of excellent oysters from the Cult!
Rich O.
Oysters are the ultimate play with your food kind of food. Getting new varieties each month, with enough to really learn them is cool.
Especially when you live thousands of miles from the coast!
tobias m.
The oysters arrive. Next thing I know is that I've eaten all of them! In one fell swoop. Oysters! Yum!
LISA S.
Best I’ve EVER had!!!!! Enjoyed them so much!
Ashley Y.
Best ones yet!!! Such a fun treat every month.
Anna C.
We celebrated my partner's 40th birthday with Sailor's Valentines and Pink Moons. While the February box wasn't out all-time favorite (that one arrived in March), we have enjoyed the surprise each month and have loved learning about each oyster.
John O.
Two terrific oysters!
Tuxedo - Great front end brine, very good texture, and I want to say that a “steel” or “stoney” flavor emerged – not at all unpleasant.
Midcoast - From very briny to very very briny, good texture, maybe a bit buttery in the umami department, nice finish with some mineral or stone.

Dan L.
Both of the varieties were delicious, easy to shuck and their flavor was delicate, slightly briny. We throughly enjoyed them.
David L.
Great trip of oysters this month, probably the best yet. Mid Coast Mild was our favorite.
John W K.
All 3 oysters were great. Especially lked the wild
Andrew D.
We have only ever received the freshest and best tasting oysters. I’ve always considered myself an oyster lover but Real Oyster Cult has turned me into a connoisseur!
Elizabeth H.
We have had 2 shipments of our monthly subscription of oysters and have enjoyed them all. They arrive in great condition, and have tasted wonderful. We have some raw, and some roasted and have appreciated the different flavors of each type.
Joanne B.
The Black Magic oysters were amazing! They were easy to shuck, had a great shell to meat ratio and were simply divine!
Terri D.
Made linguine with clams in about 15 minutes. I should have taken a picture but we admired it briefly and gobbled it up. Water, vermouth the liquor from the class and herbs! Perfecto!
Lisa S.
Got this for my husband for his birthday- he loved the oysters!!! Great gift for a guy who has everything!!!!
audrina h.
I got a subscription for my boyfriends birthday because he loves oysters. We had fun shucking them and an even better time eating them. They were super fresh and delicious! Looking forward to next months!
Dr Robert E O.
Product arrived on time & well chilled.
Easy to shuck
Thomas Z.
Ok. It would be a sin for me NOT to give a shout out for the recently added Thunder Cove. So for those that don't know me, yet, I'm the the Z~man and a huge lover of all oysters, but more so the big'ins! Thunder Cove delivers what the big oyster lover craves, I believe. Just a very well balanced oyster for those not afraid to put something that big in their mouth. My photo has some Osietra Supreme on it, but truth be told this oyster stands on its own and I just like to over indulge sometimes. And for the sake of showing this behemoth size of an oyster, I placed aside an Aruban 50c piece, so that everyone can have a gage. I'd put it in my hand, but my hands are huge and wouldn't do the oyster justice. Not familiar with the Aruban 50c piece you say? Time to head to Aruba.
Virginia K.
Love the monthly oyster delivery! As new parents, having oysters on automatic delivery, allows us to have a guaranteed at home date night without having to handle logistics. Simply shuck and open some wine once the baby is asleep!
tobias m.
It was wonderful.
Dain P.
Three kinds of oysters Three kinds of winners! Can’t wait for our next delivery
Shirley & Scot W.
Fresh and tasty!
