There's a Subscription For That is a new series spotlighting subscriptions the team at My Subscription Addiction finds interesting and is excited to share with readers.
Is there any greater delicacy than enjoying freshly shucked oysters with a crisp glass of Champagne? Oysters have a subtle, delicate flavor that's as refreshing as a cool ocean breeze, but the best oysters are usually served up in coastal regions not far from where they're harvested. If you're a landlocked seafood conoisseur, you might be dissatisfied with the selection of fresh bivalves available in your local area. Wish you could get the same fresh oysters as your coastal cousins? Well, there's a subscription for that!
If you want fresh oysters delivered to your door, you actually have a couple of subscriptions to choose from. The first, Real Oyster Cult, was started by Rob Knecht and Sims McCormick, who own and run a family oyster farm in Duxbury, MA. Real Oyster Cult sends oysters from the family farm in Massachusetts, Canada, and Maine.
