P & J Oyster Co.

Just fabulous. My wife Terri loves the seafood, fish etc & I love the shrimp &lobster. Great place pdgutie

Bulk sales only — not ready to eat, supplies the locals so you know the quality is good!

Always quality, tasty oysters. A true New Orleans everlasting gem of a company. A family business that is back on its feet after BP. Long Live P&J Oyster Co.

P & J is a New Orleans institution that has been around for generations! Almost all the best restaurants get their oysters from P & J. The BP oil spill hit them hard but they’re back up and roaring. These are generally among the highest quality oysters available anywhere in the area.

This place is so good it sold only to restaurants before Katrina.
Lucky for the average joe, they now will sell half sacks (about 100 oysters) of either large (great for grilling) or small (my preference for raw). If your looking to party they also sell full sacks and pre-​shucked oysters by the gallon and quart.
HANDS DOWN (speaking as a Louisiana seafood snob), if you want raw oysters for a party in the New Orleans area this is where I would go. Well cleaned, nice salinity Louisiana oysters.
There only open till 11am (open ~5am)so get there early, additionally often the sales to the public are first come first served. Price is very competitive (read as «probably cheaper») and I’d put quality a couple notches above your neighborhood seafood store.

Before you munch down that fried oyster po boy or enjoy some raw on the half-​shell, the restaurants have to get them from somewhere. P&J has been providing oysters to some of the best institutions for oysters in town since 1876.
You can also check out their website for great oyster facts and recipes.
(I know this reads more like a shill, but with 199 reviews, I can promise I’m a real person)
