SHOP LOCAL Island Creek Oysters

AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE ARE ALL ABOUT FLAVOR HERE AT ISLAND CREEK OYSTERS.

It is in this eternal quest that we have plunged into our next great fixation— caviar. Truffles, foie gras, tuna toro and kobe beef come to mind as being in the same class of decadent flavor. However, there are few things in this world that can deliver every taste of the rainbow cranked to 11 all at once—salt, umami, butter, brine, nutty, earthy. Top notch caviar is said to be able to contain a whopping 17 discernible flavors and aromas.

Caviar’s greatest shortcoming is probably that it can be intimidating. Like picking a bottle of wine from an extensive list (or, ahem, an oyster off a raw bar menu), the choices can be disorienting and the cost means the stakes are high! Couple this with a history of smuggling, overfishing, environmental degradation, and long opaque supply chains with unscrupulous salespeople and why bother!

Well folks, that’s where Island Creek comes in. We rolled up our sleeves and spent time with the farmers, scientists and producers to get a handle on what playing in the world of caviar means. We saw pretty quickly that we could do it better. We tasted something as complex and enjoyable as an oyster, and we noticed the caviar landscape changing in ways that inspired us and reminded us of our own story. We take great pride in sourcing the best single-origin caviar from trusted farms all around the world that is then hand-packed by our experts in house to ensure top quality from beginning to end.

THERE IS NO BETTER TIME TO DISCOVER CAVIAR--DIVE IN!
