Wonderful experience for buyer…even better experience for the receiver!
Your fresh bay oysters reminded her of the times that her dad would bring fresh bay oysters home to the mountains, some 80 years ago.
Thank you so much for such an easy ordering online process for this older Nana! Was not complicated at all.
Nana from NC
Everything was wonderful! The oysters were great and arrived on time just as said.
I highly recommend this company for all your fresh seafood needs!

The fact that they are from Chesapeake Bay. Only the best. Easy to order and they were excellent. Will buy again. Price is right. Thank you Crab Dynasty.

Ordered Oysters to be sent to my son in NC for an Oyster Roast Thanksgiving Eve. Those were some of the BEST oysters I have ever had. My son was thrilled. He hasn't had oysters since he moved to NC 2 years ago. Thank you!!!!
