    Peeko Outpost on Shelter Island
    Peeko's Shelter Island collection point, a few hundred metres up from the North Ferry slip. Bagged oyster pick-up only - you preorder from the New Suffolk farm and collect here; there is no raw bar and no shucking on site.

    Southold Bay Oysters - Shelter Island Stand
    A self-serve oyster stand in the gardens at Grady Riley, open Saturdays and Sundays: you take a bag of Southold Shindigs home, with shucking knives and coolers on the shelf beside them. The only place to buy oysters on Shelter Island that is not a restaurant.
