Ordering Oysters Online: Recommendations?
ColAngus

I'm planning to order a box/bushel of oysters for NYE. I've ordered locally here in Charlotte NC for the past few years; but the last two times the oysters were too small (James River oysters out of Virginia).
I was down in New Orleans two months ago and LOVED them. My wife's from Louisiana too, so we're a little biased when it comes to oysters.
Does anyone have any experience or recommendations for ordering oysters online? We've used cajungrocer.com for live crawfish (very good) and boudin.

I really like the Eastern Shore Virginia farmed oysters. They are medium sized, sweet and salty. High rain levels can affect the salinity, but these ones are always good and they ship. I have never ordered them shipped, though, as I can get them at some semi-local markets;

If the online order doesn't work, just give them a call. I have seen oyster shipping options in the past but couldn't find them now on a quick look.
In any case, let us know what you decide and how they are.
Happy New Year!!

The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out. -
