Menu Categories and Options
This menu planner will help you select items for your event. Items in this menu are generally sized, but depending on the number of guests you expect, some items might need to be scaled up or down. As a baseline, the items as priced will accommodate up to 25 guests. For example, if you are planning on 50 guests, simply double the quantities. We can also help you fine tune your order. This planner will help us understand what you are thinking.
The Foundation - The Oysters!
Use oyster estimator button or contact us for help with estimating how many oysters you might need based on the number of guests and other details about your event.
Once you have an estimate for the number of oysters you need, use various quantities of either the whole sale cost (only available to LOC members) or non-member retail price to set your total. In most cases, it is always best to over estimate as unused oysters can be returned to the water. You will not be charged for these (less a $25 restocking fee).
This section also includes oysters selections that include a shucking service fee. Select these options if you are interested in LOC staff to either pre-shuck your oysters or for shucking live at your event.

Oyster Skewers
Fried oyster skewers, marinated in a blend of soy and sesame with seasonal grilled vegetables

Oyster Sliders
If you have ever had fresh-fried oysters, then you know what awaits. LOC's fried oyster sliders are a perfect blend of textures and flavors. Fried oyster on a browned King's Hawaiian roll toped with sriracha mayo and arugula. Price is per slider.
