Osyters
We order oysters and clams quite a few times through out the year. We live in Eastern Washington and they ship them. Always fresh and great. Highly recommend.
Description
*Olympias are out for the season. Check back in late October/early November*
The only oyster truly native to the West coast, these little gems are small in stature but huge in flavor.
Originally called the “Native Western” oyster, they were renamed in 1889 shortly after Washington received statehood. In a competition over the location of the state capital, those in favor of Olympia held a series of public meetings to persuade voters. At the culmination of these meetings, an oyster dinner was served. The oysters were so appealing that Olympia won the bid and from then on, they were known as Olympia oysters.
The beginner half-shell eater might choose the little “Oly” as an introduction before progressing to larger varieties. But after developing a more sophisticated palate, they always humbly return to their beloved first slurp—the mighty Olympia oyster.
Quantity: 30 count
Flavor Profile: rich copper and mushrooms notes, with a celery salt brine and very lengthy finish on the palate
Size: Approximately 1 - 1.5 inch shell

Hi, I ordered the Olympia oysters and thought I had got the flash sale of 15 more.
We steamed them in beer and 14 of the oysters our of 30 would not open. I don't feel it was worth the price. I have gotten seafood for years at Taylor's. I was very disappointed with this order.
Oysters Delivered to Portland, OR
I ordered a dozen Oysters as a special surprise for my wife on New Years Eve. As a long time fan of Taylor Shellfish, having lived in Seattle for years. I was honestly shocked at the poor quality of of the product as shipped. At least 5 oysters were dead and 5 were impossible to shuck despite our best efforts. Would not recommend.
