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!

Originally hailing from Blue Point, New York, the renowned Blue Point oysters have made their way across borders and are now nurtured in various regions including Connecticut, Delaware, New Jersey, and Virginia. The delightful blend of sweet and salty flavors that these oysters offer leaves an almost 'bubbly' aftertaste due to their slight mineral nuances.
The tale of these cherished mollusks began in 1815 under the vigilant care of Humphret Avery who first cultivated them in the Great South Bay before relocating his operations to Long Island. Their distinct, untamed flavor quickly captivated food enthusiasts around the globe, even finding a fan in Queen Victoria herself. By the dawn of the 20th century, Blue Points were being harvested by the millions each year, owing to their soaring popularity.
However, this rapid growth was accompanied by challenges. Aggressive harvesting techniques coupled with environmental pressures led to a sharp decline in their numbers by the 1910s. A coastal storm and the Long Island Express hurricane in the 1930s further aggravated the situation, bringing the local oyster industry to a halt.
Fortunately, the tide has turned in recent years. Stricter fishing policies and enhanced water quality have facilitated the revival of these once endangered oyster beds. Today, these savory treats are back on the menu for seafood lovers to relish.
If you're fortunate enough to come across some fresh Blue Points, there's a myriad of ways to delight in their flavor. While they make for a refreshing bite when served raw on the half-shell with a squeeze of lemon or a dash of hot sauce, don't hesitate to experiment in your kitchen. You could bake them with a Parmesan breadcrumb crust, grill them alongside sausages and peppers, fry them tempura style, or even incorporate them into your favorite seafood pasta dish.
Regardless of how you choose to savor your Blue Points, we trust that each bite will be an absolute treat!
