It's Oysters and Friends signup time!

This is a monthly subscription service - kinda like a CSA - that runs for six months at time. Each month, we'll ship you a box containing delicious food, along with information about where it came from and how to cook it. Boxes will generally have 1-3 dozen oysters (either for grilling, frying, eating raw, or all of the above) and 2-3 lbs of clams or mussels, plus three "friends," which is a general term we're using for fun items we source from our beaches, farms, fields, colleagues, and production kitchen. In peak summer (July or August) the boxes will contain meal kits for summer parties, and may or may not contain oysters.

The 2025 Spring Subscription runs from February through July, taking us from the ice cold waters of deep winter, through the rich pastures of spring, and into the dog days of summer. We'll explore oyster flavor through the seasons, feast on sea beans and shrimp, forage for nettles and other forest edibles, experiment with various species of clam, taste fish from local and northern waters, and enjoy concoctions from local trees and berries. Spring is dynamic in the Great(er) PNW, come join us!

Availability is very limited so that we can source some really special products.

Once you purchase this subscription, all subsequent payments will be automatically charged on the first of each month. Boxes will ship either the 2nd or the 3rd Wednesday of the month, depending on which week you choose.

A few notes:

  • Dates aren’t flexible, because having predictable ship dates helps us source products we can’t otherwise sell online.
  • For folks with dietary restrictions: We send compound butter (dairy) fairly regularly, and occasionally boxes contain wheat products (pasta or breading) or meat (chorizo or similar), in addition to other allergens. We aren't able to do substitutions at this time, but if you have dietary restrictions, we can let you know what boxes to skip. 
  • It's easy to skip a month if you're traveling or otherwise unable to receive a box, just email to let us know before the 1st of the month to avoid being charged.
  • Purchasing this product means we'll sign you up for our email list to receive monthly updates about box contents.

If this sounds fabulous but you can't commit to the full 6 months - email us or use the signup form on this product to get first dibs when single boxes become available.

Remember that consuming raw or undercooked shellfish increases the risk of foodborne illness.  

WARNING: Consuming this product can expose you to chemicals including cadmium, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to www.P65warnings.ca.gov/food

Here's more information about oysters and cadmium.

Sending a Gift?

  • Add a gift message during checkout if you like.
  • Please make sure the recipient will be home to receive it (and put it in the refrigerator!)

Shipping to an Apartment or Business

  • Confirm FedEx can access or leave the package safely.
  • FedEx sometimes delivers in the morning, so ensure someone’s available at 9 am.
  • If delivery isn’t possible (closed business, locked entry, wrong address), the package may need to be picked up at a FedEx location.

Our business is 103 years old (and counting) so we're definitely in this for the long haul — building loyalty means making things right when something goes wrong.

Our Happiness Guarantee covers:

  • Damaged items during transit (please send photos!)
  • Lost product from deliveries delayed more than 2 days
  • Missing or mis-picked items
  • Quality concerns (too big, too small, or not what you expected)

Depending on the issue, we’ll reship, refund, credit, or offer a discount on a future order.

If Your Perishable Order Is Delayed

  • We’ll contact you if there’s a delay, and will work with FedEx to reschedule delivery for the next day.
  • Don’t worry — your shellfish will just think the tide has gone out, and will be fine with an extra day in transit.
  • When your box arrives, check the temperature tracking tab inside; it’ll confirm that everything stayed cold.
  • Learn how to read your temperature tag here.

What’s Not Covered

We can’t replace or refund orders when issues are outside our control, including:

  • Incorrect address or delivery date entered at checkout
  • Orders not retrieved on the delivery date
  • Lost or stolen packages after FedEx marks them as delivered

Still, we’re happy to help troubleshoot — just email info@hamahamaoysters.com

Best anniversary gift ever!

Absolutely love the boxes my husband and I get every month. Bought this as a wedding anniversary gift after moving away from Washington and it’s been the best little piece of back there to enjoy. Great customer service! Everything comes fresh and well packed. We enjoy it every single time! Love the variety and the information on all the items. What a special treat!

A sunny day at the beach

Fun Spring Farm Day. Awesome day soaking up rays, bivalves and suds. Great crew helping today. Also highly recommend the spot prawns and Hama Hama michelada.

How fun and informative!

My only complaint is that the clams needed to be soaked. Thank goodness my friends didn't follow the advice and soaked them some, but they needed a lot more. Our pasta was quite gritty.
