I’ve had over a 1,000 oysters from Oyster Cult and can’t even count on one hand bad oysters I received. Where besides this company can anyone claim that, even from a local fishery. If you are truly an oyster lover this is the ONLY place to get shipped oysters. The variety and quality are superb! I would never cancel, I love them!!!
Christy S.
Made our own set up and they were delicious! Love our a little oyster diary where we can keep track of all of our notes. Best thing I’ve found in such a long time! Turns a Tuesday night into something special :-)
Amy C.
Loved these two varieties: Irish point and Summerside, both from PEI. I had been doing the trio, but it was a lot for me to shuck. This smaller batch of 20 was perfect for me. They arrived chilled and tasted super fresh. I love the interesting varietals.
Carin D.
We've had two deliveries of Oysters of the month and they have both been terrific! Love the oyster shucking knife and gloves too. Can't wait for our next delivery!

Signing up another couple, great enjoyment

Great box this month! Loved both the oysters I got.

My family is very well aware of my devotion to oysters on the half shell, and brilliantly chose a subscription as a Christmas present. No more ties, no more books, no more sox, just oysters! Have received two deliveries, each pristinely packaged to ensure quality, each according to schedule. And they have been superb: wonderfully varied, each absolutely succulent, each straight-from-the-sea fresh. I am seriously considering a whole year subscription, even if I need to take out a HELOC. Well, maybe not a HELOC, but surely another subscription. Best treat ever!
Kelsea R.
Always super fresh and delicious! I wish there was a bit more variation in east and west coast. Very happy with the subscription and will be re-upping when we are done traveling!

The Oysters and Caviar are always awesome as expected. This time i went with a mignonette, classic cocktail sauce with extra horseradish topping and of course some caviar. Made a side seaweed salad and enjoyed by all depending on what you prefer. This batch of oysters was even more special, as I believe the cold water temps make a harder shell and all around better oyster. But then again I haven't met an oyster I didn't like really. I like my oysters naked most of the time, but sometimes I put a robe on. ; )
Nicolette S.
Always the freshest and best quality oysters, delivered to your door.
Love it!
Charles O.
I say Wow to both the service and the oysters in my first cult installment. Belle Du Jour was medium not crazy brine with a great, rather sweet texture. East Beach Blonde had a firly briny flavor, not metallic, and a robust texture that almost made me think crunchy. Wonderful all the way around. No mignonette needed!

What a great service. Finding a box of oysters on our front porch is an amazing way to start the year. Also helped me get over my fear of shucking.
Tiffany C.
It was the first time I shucked an oyster myself, but I watched the video on the website, and I managed not to maim myself. Win! It was easier than I thought it would be. Both varieties I tried were very tasty! Can't wait for the next delivery.
Robyn H.
Cant wait for our next shipment!

We gifted a year of this monthly subscription to my father for a milestone birthday. He absolutely loved the selection of oysters, and the thrill of receiving the package each month. A really great experience all around!
James P.
Plump and fresh, extra briny!
Andrew M.
All 3 types were delicious. Perhaps favorite was Glacier Point from AK. We prefer the smaller size so these were all perfect. And super easy to shuck!
L L.
Loved our first delivery of oysters! They were great! Looking forward to next month!
LouAnn H.
Excellent service and tasty tasty oysters! Living in the Pacific NW, we don't get the opportunity to try eastern seaboard oysters very often - well pretty much never. Real Cult Oysters delivered on serving up the oyster goods, allowing us to sample oysters from areas like Prince Edward Island and the Real Cult Duxbury Farm. We are such big fans of the oysters and Real Oyster Cult that we are talking about a future Northeast Adventure which of course would include a stop at Real Oyster Cult to say hi to Sim and the team. Thank you Real Oyster Cult team!
Chardie B.
So, so good. They called the oysters “small,” but I’ve definitely had smaller- and look at this picture! These were delicious, came on time, and had a temperature gaze thing so we could check to make sure they were fresh.
Ashley Y.
Fantastic oysters! Can’t wait for the next order.
Carol B.
Fantastic! Gift for my oldest son but fun for the whole family. Oysters were amazingly fresh. Looking forward to next month.
Christy S.
Absolutely delicious! What a great way to kick off the holiday and have something to look forward to every month! Thanks Real Cult!
Sarah G.
Such a special treat. Delicious oysters made for a great and special night!
judith w.
Got an Oyster Cult subscription as a fabulous Christmas present, slipped into the shucking gloves on Christmas eve and lollipopped some of the best oysters I have tasted (I maintain weekly a buck-a-shuck list!). Arrived ice cold, labelled by species, and perfectly enticing. Excellent quality and a real adventure!
Eleanor S.
We look forward to our monthly shipments and this month’s Silver Bells and Belle Du Jour did not disappoint. This is the best gift ever for anyone interested in oysters!
Nhung L.
Real Oyster Cult is fantastic! Our oysters were super fresh, clean and easy to shuck. Such a perfect gift for anyone who’s interested in these creatures or eating them and a very fun new skill to learn together.
Mark L.
A gleeful smile follows every plump, juicy, tender and fresh bites of fun.

Hey all! Another month and another batch of awesome oysters! So I get two batches of 20 in my monthly order (between my other crazy indulgence orders : D) and enjoy writing my experience in my oyster journal. After trying many different kinds of oysters you start to notice that some you like more depending on the time of year. Case in point the Belle Du Jour from New Brunswick. Had them in May 2022 and gave them a "so-so" rating, earthly with a seaweed finish and small. Just got them again in December 2022 and for me a much better oyster! A little larger now and very well balanced! I typically don't add anything to my oysters when it's just me, unless they need it and again that's all what you like. So don't give up on an oyster, just try it 6 months later. And if you're a fan of the Chelsea Gems, you'll enjoy the Glacier Points from Alaska. Northern west coast with that cucumber finish. Something special we don't see here in the northeast. All the best!!! ~Zman
Vic W.
Always delicious! There were no leftovers.
Liza H.
Delicious and fresh!
tobias m.
There were 60, they were gone in less time than that.
Mark L.
Just right amount. Creamy and sweet.
Having a fresh oyster just makes life better.
Jennifer & Preston W.
Shipping was a breeze and everything came perfectly. Customer service was excellent and every question was answered in a timely manner for this newbie. We can’t wait for next months shipment!
Deb C.
Sailor valentine oysters from Duxbury bay were amazing ❣️❣️❣️
Vic W.
Always fresh and delicious. We are always excited when the oysters arrive….and always on time.thank you!
Barbara L.
The La Saint Simons and Chelsea Gems were outstanding! I was not as impressed by the 3rd selection, which is probably why I can’t recall their name, but He Who Cannot Shuck thought they were just as delectable. If I had known that in advance there would have been no equal sharing . Love that The Cult gets fabulous oysters to the far inland mountains of WNC!
Ashley S.
Best birthday gift ever!
Christy S.
Some baked goodness on a cold night!
Jasmine F.
Shipwreck was really good however the Gems and Duxbary I think where just spectacular- out of this world!
James P.
The ROC Reserve oysters from Duxbury are the best- sweet, briny, and just the right size.
Amanda L.
As always, the oysters were fresh and amazing! Highly recommend adding on some mignonips as well!
Lorinda O.
Great to have a fresh oyster surprise each month! I live in Wyoming, far, far from any oyster bed.
Phyllis H.
We look forward to and enjoy getting oysters every month. What a treat!
Brian W.
The perfect petite manageable size and briny flavor.
Guy G.
Every order has wonderfully fresh oysters!
Linda N.
So good! Great packaging love the passport of oysters! Beyond my expectations!!! Mmm
Melissa P.
Amazing oysters and service! My husband and I are huge oyster fans and recently signed up for the monthly service. We received our order quickly and in great condition. The oysters were cold and fresh, and the accessories (gloves and shucker) are the best we’ve ever used. The customer service is also top notch as we had some initial issues with UPS delivery that were taken care of ASAP!
Gary B.
The wasters arrived on time. They were all nice and cold. They were easily shocked. And they were quite well enjoyed by everyone who had them. Excellent job thank you
Benjamin M.
It was a great way to try your newest oysters. I split them into 3 different nights and started my complementary oyster journal. I have been buying from y'all for around a year now. Keep up the good work. I tell everyone about y'all
Thomas Z.
The two types I tried this month were Great White from Barnstable and the Osterville's. Both a bit small for me but I enjoy trying them all. The Great Whites start out with a very nice brine but then end with an earthy/seaweed aftertaste. I usually don't add anything to my oysters, but for guest the old fashion lemon and cocktail sauce would be the way to calm the after taste. The Osterville's were my favorite of this batch. Super small but very well balanced between brine, sweetness and a touch of a slight metallic aftertaste. Always my favorite part of the month receiving my membership shipment! xxooxoxox ~Z-man
Okajima A.
Great white is so good. It's a creamy and rich taste.
Shelley W.
I’m a monthly club member and have enjoyed every single oyster I’ve received. This month the Great Whites we’re featured and I was so impressed I just ordered another 100 to enjoy and share with my friends! Have also ordered from two other oyster outfits and neither match the quality and freshness of TOC. I’m hooked!
Vic W.
Not a bad one in the bunch. Delicious!
Sharese F.
I really like the quality of the oysters. Always surprised with trying something new. Just hope shipping can go back to FedEx. UPS delivery staff my area aren’t as meticulous with perishable items.
Michael M.
Truly worth every penny. Oysters are always unique and amazing. Love the service, quality, and surprise when it comes every month. If you love oysters you need this NOW!
Robert C.
Great Oysters and fresh.
Temple H.
There is no other way to enjoy oysters
Charles B.
See my other review from this month.
Great stuff and service as always.
Charles B.
Oysters were great as always. First and foremost, the product is the best. That it is good for the ocean and from family-owned farms. Super good karma. As a small business owner, I always look for fellow owners who share the American dream to make a great product and do it with family. I have been getting my monthly fix for several years now and I plan to keep getting it for as long as I can grip an Oyster knife.
Thumbs up from the Heartland
Gary B.
Everyone enjoyed the oysters and we are like forward to the next round . Very tasty . Keep up the great job.
Amanda L.
We’ve been ordering from Real Oyster Cult for a few years now and it’s the highlight of our month, every month. The oysters are always so fresh and the mignonips are awesome. We had to pause our order for the past nine months because I was pregnant and getting a box delivered was one of the first things I set up when I got home from the hospital. Can’t recommend this business enough!
Rob L.
So big and full! Loved them
Annette K.
The belle du jour and the Sailor's Valentine oysters were both very tasty (the Sailor's Valentine was just a bit more briny and slightly less meaty than the belle du jour). The biggest difference was in the ease of shucking these two varieties - the Valentine's were quite easy to shuck while the belle du jour was a much more tedious job!!
Kendall W.
4 of us had a great time shucking on Saturday afternoon. Not to mention the oysters were delicious!
Robert W.
This is a picture at our wedding reception July 30th 2022.
We had 250 oysters served for 75 guests. It wasn't enough!
Vicki W.
Wonderful and delicious❤️
Leah R.
We have had 15 shipments so far and these were our favorite oysters!
Richard G.
We share the oysters (with champagne) with our friends every month. The oysters are restaurant quality and give us the motivation to have monthly get-togethers!
Justin H.
I recently got into the raw oyster scene... and I am so glad that I got initiated into The Cult! I signed up because I wanted to be able to try a variety of oysters that are otherwise not readily available here in Pennsylvania. I like the fact that I am surprised with a new selection each month to try and hone my pallet and develop an appreciation for raw oysters. The quality was on point! I ordered 20 oysters and all 20 were viable to eat. They arrived on time and within temperature range as advertised. This is a great reason to have friends over and have a tasting party. We all enjoyed ourselves tasting oysters and filling out the provided tasting booklet to try and make sense out of what flavors we were tasting. If you are considering subscribing, do it! You will love the results!
Mark C. G.
Every delivery from Real Oyster Cult has been perfect. We are fortunate to get this subscription as a gift from our son & daughter in law. A very generous & appecuate gift! The oysters always arrive about the time expected & are packed so that they arrive cold & fresh. Our favorites are the Wellfleets & PEI but all are fresh & delicious. Would highly recommend getting your oysters from Real Oyster Cult, you won’t be disappointed!
Steven L.
Absolutely fantastic! The wellfleet’s we’re amazing with a taste that anyone could enjoy. The shipwrecks I found go exceptionally well with ice cold beer, as they are a little more on the briney side with a finish that will leave you wanting more. I am looking forward to my next tasting experience. Thank you so much for these amazing products.
James C.
Great Valentine’s Day present! And it just keeps on giving
Cedric G.
Well, we have been buying oysters from this company for years! Packaging and shipping is great! Oysters are always fresh and delicious! Simply unforgettable.
william k.
EVERYTHING WAS AWESOME
Sharese F.
Team was super duper helpful on ensuring delivery was possible via fedex!
Cathy G.
Oysters were very good. Pretty easy to shuck for the rookie that I am.
Charles B.
Enjoyable as always. I went for the dealer's choice and all five kinds were great. Nice variety on size, origin, salinity and taste. It is fun to get these gems in the middle of Iowa all year round. To get such tasty bits and support the people growing and harvesting the food is important.
Keep on keeping on!
Cheers!
Lauren H.
The oysters were delivered on time, they were fresh, crisp, and delicious!! We are so happy to have found this monthly subscription!!
James P.
My favorite oyster is the one I'm eating at any given moment. With that said, it follows naturally that I prefer larger oysters to smaller ones, simply because the ratio of work shucking to amount available to consume is more favorable. Those Rhode Island oysters were okay but the Massachusetts ones, being bigger, were better.
Katherine P.
Liked all. Preferred the two smaller varieties.
Holly R.
These oysters were better than any restaurant. My husband loves them! I also appreciate the customer service. We highly recommend these oysters!
Lynn N.
Cult is the best - we’ve been fans for over a year, and the oysters have been amazing. Thanks, guys - we thought we would be fans for a year, but we are keeping it going. Too delicious to stop!
Phyllis H.
We really look forward to our monthly delivery of oysters. We love the chance to try different varieties and make a note on the accompanying tag describing the flavor of each batch: sweet, briny, etc. Delicious eating!
Ann H.
We got these for Fathers Day and could not have been more impressed! Each oyster was better than the one before it.
Kevin C.
great product/service!
Hannah S.
Best one yet!! Although all have been great!
Guy G.
The fresh oysters paired with the extra caviar we ordered made for a decadent “Date Night”!
