Initially grown in Blue Point, New York, Blue Point oysters now refer to various oysters that are grown across New York and Connecticut primarily, as well as Delaware, New Jersey, and Virginia. The famous Blue Points are refreshing and smooth, with a beautiful balance of sweetness and brine. Some say their aftertaste is almost "sparkling" from their light mineral taste.
The first recorded instance of Blue Point oysters being cultivated was in 1815 by Humphret Avery. He originally grew the oysters in Great South Bay before moving his operations to Long Island.
Blue Points were so revered for their robust and wild flavor. They even became Queen Victoria's favorite. These oysters' popularity increased, with millions being harvested each year by the early 1900s. Unfortunately, overfishing and pollution caused the Blue Points population to dwindle; by the 1910s. In the 1930s, the oyster industry ended in Great South Bay due to a coastal storm and the Long Island Express hurricane.
Thankfully, Thanks to improvements in water quality and stricter fishing regulations, the oyster beds have begun to recover, and there has been a resurgence. Now, these delicious oysters are once again available for everyone to enjoy.
If you're lucky enough to get your hands on some fresh Blue Points, there are many ways to enjoy them. Of course, you can always eat them raw on the half-shell with a little bit of lemon or hot sauce if you desire. But if you want to get a little bit creative in the kitchen, here are some other ideas:
However you decide to enjoy your Blue Points, we hope you savor every moment!

Dive into the refreshing world of Blue Point oysters, originally hailing from the pristine waters of Blue Point, New York. These delightful sea gems are now thriving along the coasts of Connecticut, Delaware, New Jersey, and Virginia, offering a splendid blend of mild sweetness and a crisp briny flavor, with a subtle hint of minerals that enhances their freshness.
The journey of Blue Point oysters began in 1815 when Humphret Avery pioneered their cultivation in Great South Bay, later moving to Long Island. This variety gained such popularity that it even graced the royal palate of Queen Victoria.
By the early 20th century, these oysters faced challenges due to overharvesting and environmental changes, significantly depleting their numbers. The industry suffered further during the 1930s due to natural disasters that hit their habitats hard. However, recent efforts to improve water quality and enforce protective regulations have led to a revival of these oyster beds, allowing this once-dwindling species to flourish again.
For those who enjoy the fresh taste of the sea, Blue Point oysters can be savored in numerous ways. Relish them raw, just cracked open on the half-shell with a dash of lemon or your choice of sauce to enhance their natural flavors. Or, explore your creative side in the kitchen by baking them with a crunchy Parmesan breadcrumb mix, grilling alongside sausage and peppers for a smoky treat, frying them in a light tempura batter, or tossing them into a hearty seafood pasta.
No matter how you choose to enjoy them, Blue Point oysters bring a piece of oceanic history and revitalization to your table, promising a delicious and memorable meal every time.
