My family has been buying oysters from this business for several years whenever we visit Ocean Shores. My son owns a beach house there, and our family often gathers to spend time together. Between my family, my son's family, and my daughter's family, we have purchased oysters here more than 40 times over the years. We usually buy oysters while we are staying in Ocean Shores and often pick up another order on our way home. Out of all those purchases, only one order was less than satisfactory. The oysters from that purchase were a little smelly and contained more sand than usual. During our most recent visit, I mentioned that experience to the staff. At the time, they were out of the larger oysters I normally buy. Instead of simply telling me they were unavailable, one of the staff members arranged for someone to harvest medium-sized oysters directly from the farm. The oysters were freshly harvested and packed right away. I was impressed by the extra effort they made to ensure we received a quality product. That experience showed me how much they value their customers and stand behind what they sell. Aside from that one disappointing purchase, the oysters have consistently been fresh, delicious, and high quality. Based on our family's experience over many years and more than 40 purchases, I would gladly recommend this business to anyone looking for fresh oysters and excellent customer service. read more

Lovely family. I have been coming here for 30 years when I am on the coast. They carry Quinalt Pride Seafood! Smoked Coho. Quinalt Razor Clams! The best. I did a razor clam dig and it was one of the worst digs I have done, stopped by here and bought 2 lbs of Quinalt Razor Clams, 2 cans of chopped Razor Clams and 2 fresh Dungeness Crab (making head butter with rice) to go with the fresh sourdough bread I bought. You must stop! Stop! I normally get fresh oysters which are the best. Today is Razor clam and dungeness. read more

On Sunday May 4th my husband came in to buy a couple dozen small oysters. First off the bat, the lady working was suoer rude. Usually there is a really nice lady. This one was just awful. Then He was told all that was left was medium, hard to believe they were sold out of them at noon, but he agreed on getting 2 dozen medium. We got home and they're not medium...they're XXL! They were completely inedible. We had 3 generations of family over for a BBQ and were unable to leave to return them. We spend several hundred dollars here a year. This is unacceptable. I plan on calling to see about a refund. I will update my review after I speak with them read more

Historically, we love this place. Bought oysters here many times and calms a time or two. We were there today, 7/21/26 and bought two lbs of manilla clams and some oysters. Both my wife and I noticed some of the clams were open. Here's where we made the mistake. After they were rung up and I touched a few and they did not close, I was going to ask them about it buy my wife beat me to it. The clerk said they were fine. They were just "stressed". Pour some water on them and they will be good. She just made some. I was in a hurry and somehow, someway, let this ridiculous explanation prevail. Upon getting them home, over half are open and will not close when touched in any way. In other words, all dead. Don't be me and buy clams from these people. Best in Grays Harbor? Bahahaha. read more

This is the only place my husband and I stop to get oysters when in town. We have never gotten any rotten oysters. Always fresh and perfect. They are always the size we ask for. We have never experienced bad service. Not super amazing service either. Just enough to get in and out fast with what we are wanting. Ambience is what you would expect. A little run down but it's been around a long time. We will continue to come here for as long as they are open and serving! Highly recommend! read more

I stumbled across these in a jar in an asian store in lynnwood, H Mart, they are by far the best oysters in a jar I have ever had. Super fresh and firm, I have bought many others in a jar from the same area oyster places along that coast and harbors and these are the best. Just cold and fresh, not slimy or soft and mushy. Please keep sending these to H- mart! read more

Great place to get Pacific oysters for beach going folks. I buy them by the bag and throw them on the bbq. Can't miss!

These are the only (really) fresh oysters that I am willing to eat a couple raw. Unlike local sound oysters, these are grown in open ocean waters which makes a huge difference in quality and safety from a bottom filter feeder. There is no pearl to find, the oyster is the treasure. read more

The food is always delicious and fresh, 10/10! The customer service could use some work. One of the elder ladies behind the counter was very rude and not inviting. She kept making rude remarks. Very unprofessional. Honestly, she shouldn't be greeting and helping guests. This seems to be an occurrence with her. Bad customer service, means no service. read more

Always stop for fresh oysters & clams whenever we are in town. Delicious and awesome customer service!

I can't help coming into Ocean Shores and stopping by to get some oysters. Always the best you can get! They were voted the best in Grays Harbor for a reason! read more

I am updating my review of this location I hadn't been there since my previous review in 2020. I was going to take a chance to see if maybe the service Had improved. Much to my dismay it seemed even worse. The little old lady who seems to be the face of this organization at least to the public is very rude and just grumpy as can be. I was hopeful when I saw her being polite and respectful to the young man who received oysters just ahead of me. I asked if there were oysters and I was told that they were only small ones. I said that would be okay and that I would love to take a look and see what she considered small. She opened the bin and I had to make a complete circle around the other side to take a look in which seemed to piss her off. I said these looked fine to me and go ahead and bag up 2 dozen. I reached in and poked an oyster and was reprimanded for touching them. I suppose this is for my own safety, However I'm going to have to touch them when I get them home. She did not make a move to start to bag up the oysters, I have no idea what I was doing to make her upset. But I was just tired of it so I walked off. I really don't appreciate being abused by the staff at this location. I was ready to drop a Benjamin on oysters crab and clams. I don't recommend this location it seems this woman has a really hard time with customer service. Like i'd mentioned in my previous review businesses like this need people like me. If you don't like tourists get into a different industry. read more

we bought 5 dozens bag of oysters, came home to split each dozen to families and we were short a dozen each. I called and they said "sorry about that" and that was it. If we lived closer then I would bring them back but to bad we live 2 1/2 hours away. In the future....open and count before you leave. read more

Friendly service, nice oyster shooter. The halibut we got from them smelled really fishy, though.

Very fresh seafood, especially the oysters. He grows his own oysters. Friendly staff

This is a no bullshit business that serves high quality products at a great price. Got 16oz of the small oysters. They were extremely plump, firm, fresh and flavorful. Better than ones I've had at a restaurant for 3x the price. I live about 2 hours away but that won't stop me from getting my oyster when i get the craving. read more

We always stop here on our way to (or from) Ocean Shores to get some fresh seafood. They have a great selection of oysters, crab, shrimp, crab cakes, salmon, etc. They usually have all the fixings too (sauce, lemon) and tools (crackers, forks, etc) if you're out of town. The staff is always warm and welcoming. Can get a line in the summer. Even in the winter we take our food and enjoy a quick bite on their back patio to enjoy the lovely view. read more

Gotta give them 1 star, because they sold me a dozen oysters (gave me 14 actually!) and only 2 were edible. Most were spawning or even dry. One shell was even cracked with a huge hole in it. Skip them for oysters. read more

If you come up short on razor clams on your dig, stop here and get your fix. Staff was friendly, they obviously get the question "is it family owned?" a lot because the staff quickly point out a pic of the family on the wall lol. read more

The oyster was slimy & gross. There were pieces of shell in it. Save your money & go elsewhere.

Stopped by on the way to a relative's beach house. Various seafood for sale but I think they specialized in oysters. Bought some oysters in shell along with a couple pints, shelled. Freshest oyster that I have ever ate. It seems that they have their own oyster beds. I was amazed to see the mountain of shells all over the place as we arrived. Will definitely come back again. read more

If I could give zero stars I would!!! This is an update on the 2 dozen oysters I purchased. Not only did I get rude service for asking for a bag...I came home to find that 5 of the oysters I opened were DUNCES! Empty shells!!! Unbelievable! read more

Stopped here on our way into Ocean Shores and so glad we did! It was clean, the person working there was knowledgeable and very friendly. We bought a few things but the highlight was the Dungeness crabs. The lady told us they were cooked only two hours before we bought them. They were the most flavorful, buttery crabs we have had in years! read more

fresh seafood and a great assortment of smoked meats too! $ deals $: $5 oyster shooter (get to keep the shot glass!) and $1 refills! i got: one cooked Dungeness crab ($17/lb): stringy dozen oysters: smelled really bad, didn't eat king salmon: tasted great! staff: head cashier was really snippy and rude. i asked her which salmon to get and she said that besides King, their others were "low-tier". why would you knowingly sell low tier fish? :'( maybe it was to convince me to buy the more expensive fish? parking: plenty! read more

Went back three times during my stay in Copalis Beach even though it was a 1/2 drive. Best fresh as well as smoked oysters, scallops and crab...crab was sooooo good. Nice outdoor tables on the water. read more

I was staying in Ocean Shores for a couple of days, and was determined to get some fresh cooked crabs yesterday. So many places were either out of them, or they were closed for the day. After doing a Google search and looking just a little further outside OS, and not having time to drive all the way to Westport, I found Lytle's and called them. Whenever I've driven by their place over the years, I pretty much only noticed the mounds and mounds of oyster shells, and thought they were just an oyster operation. It was almost 4:30, and they were closing at 5. But they had crabs! The folks in the store are all super friendly. The shop offers all kinds of cooking/grilling spices and specialty sauces and marinades. I was blown away at how fresh, sweet and delicious the crabs were. Some of the best I've ever had. I will always go here to buy my seafood any time I'm in Ocean Shores. You can tell this is a family business that takes pride in the products they offer, and how they interact with customers. read more

Fresh oysters are available in there. I always purchase a bag of oyster when im there.

If I could give this place 10 stars I would! The woman that helped us when we first arrived was amazing. She was knowledgeable and friendly, she took the time to explain to me what a razor clam was. They sound delicious but we didnt buy any. Our bounty was plentiful, jumbo prawns, manila clams, frozen sea bass and frozen crab cales for only $29. The other woman that told us about camping in the rain forest was a doll. Thank you ladies for all of the local knowledge! I hope to return to this place again! read more

What a stunning location. Staff is very friendly and informative. I bought two dozen oysters in shell. Some of the oysters were filled with goo and some with thick mud. A half dozen were inedible. I would try this place again to see the quality. Nice family business and beautiful spot. read more

I love the raw oysters here, smallest to medium all are delicious. A selection of condiments and other things like cocktail sauce to meat rubs/seasoning. The service is always great here! The store is always clean and bright. read more

Love this place. I can't drive by without stopping. The freshest seafood!! The customer service is the best.

Friendly folks and super fresh seafood! Lots of interesting snacks in store as well. Worth a stop if you come to the coast.

Excellent fresh seafood with friendly expert advice for Oyster Newbies! Bonus points for reminding folks to mask up. read more

This was a great experience. We were educated about the process and the history . Stop here on the way to the coast. The crab and oysters were from heaven! read more

Definitely worth it. I would come back again. You have an option to pick medium or large oysters. It's a reason why they have been open for awhile. read more

IF I CAN, there will be no star because the associated is pretty RACIST to me and my boyfriend. I went there today (10/6/2018 at 3:50 PM) with my boyfriend, bought a 3 dozen of oysters. The sale associate gave all the dead oyster for us. I mean OUT OF 36 OYSTERS WE CAN ONLY EAT 3. We spend almost $30 on it because it's $7.99 per dozen. read more

On our way to Ruby Beach, we got the sudden urge for oysters! My daughter and bf hastily scrounged around Yelp and found this place. Lucky for us. We got there, the lady was so friendly and fun, educated us on the menu. We finally decided on a pint thats already out of the shells. She gave us the sliced lemons, we got the cocktail sauce and found a little bottle of horse radish as well. Found us a small table outside near the water and ate away. Chowder was great and warmed us on a chilly day. Added to the experience of our travel to Ruby Beach. Great sunset and went home with great shots of the beach. read more

If I could rate this stand any lower I would. The staff had a very poor attitude and wouldn't show examples of what they considered to be a small oyster in a shell... They just want to sell pails full of oysters preshucked and who knows how old... I was sorely disappointed in the dozen I purchased in shell and several were dead. The living ones didn't taste quite right and I have now ended up with a stomach virus. I would warn buyers to stay away and beware of purchasing seasons... I just moved here from the Midwest and learnt a lesson to never buy shellfish during the warm months. Over all I would say it's overpriced, the oysters were flavorless, and staff was God aweful not to mention getting a nice gut rot from their product. Stay away!!! read more

Came here twice during our stay in nearby Ocean Shores. Absolutely the best Dungeness crabs at very fair prices. Also bought some amazing oysters. Very nice people to help you with your choices. Definitely need to come here if you are a fan of fresh seafood! read more

I call about fresh crab and was told they would have some that afternoon. I got there and was told the day old crab had to be sold first. I (my bad) gave it a try. I bought a whole cooked crab and it stank. I also bought oysters, extra small. thought fresh not extra small, see picture. read more
