Littleneck Clams

You choose a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday delivery date at checkout. We pack your order cold and ship it overnight via FedEx or UPS the day before it arrives.

Order by 3pm ET the day before your delivery date. For example, order by 3pm ET Monday for Tuesday delivery. We don’t deliver on holidays, so those dates won’t appear when you pick your date.

We ship overnight to the lower 48 states. For Alaska, Hawaii and other locations, email orders@duxburyoystercompany.com for a quote. FedEx and UPS overnight can’t deliver to PO boxes, so please use a street address. If your address can’t get reliable overnight delivery, we’ll call you before we ship.

Our packaging keeps oysters cold for 24–36 hours, but refrigerate them as soon as they arrive. Set them cup side down in a bowl or on a cookie sheet, cover them with a damp cloth, and keep them below 45°F. Don’t store them in water, on melting ice, or in a sealed container. Oysters need to breathe.

5–7 days from the harvest date printed on the tag. Check each oyster before you shuck it: if the shell is open and won’t close when tapped, or the oyster looks dry or smells fishy, throw it out.

Yes. Choose local pickup at checkout and collect your order at our farm in Duxbury. We’ll confirm a pickup time with you.

Call us the day your order arrives at (508) 697-8377 and send a photo of the box and oysters. We’ll work it out with you.

Use a proper oyster knife and a protective glove. You can add both to your order. Hold the oyster cup side down in the gloved hand, work the knife tip into the hinge and twist to pop it open, then slide the blade along the top shell to free the oyster.
