Aphrodite Oysters Catering Services
Full Service Raw Bar & Heavy Appetizers
Leave all the catering needs to us! We will provide the table and raw bar display along with all the serving items needed. There are an array of heavy passed appetizers to choose from which are prepared onsite, like our famous chimichurri filet mignon skewers. A more casual poolside soirée or game-day watch party with bbq pork sliders, house-made pickles, guacamole and chips might be better suited to your needs. We are open to any request and yes, we have TABC bartenders!
Corporate Events & Mobile Oyster Shuckers
Mobile Oyster Shuckers are perfect for large events. Not to mention seeing our shuckers with their oyster ‘gunslinger’ belts shuck out of their hands and dress your oyster to perfection is such a fun experience! It is the best way to serve a reasonable amount of oysters to a lot of guests and we tie this service into our 200 or more guest weddings. Sailor attire is traditional for us or we can offer the western cowboy, and more!
Oyster Shucker & Cart Service
For smaller gatherings or smaller spaces like a party barge boat, this is the option for you. One of our professional shuckers will arrive with a self sufficient oyster cart. This means the oyster shucker will crack your favorite oysters at the cart and guests can enjoy on the spot and discard their shells into the oyster cart. Service can extend to shrimp cocktail & sashimi platters placed on your patio table or kitchen bar, for example. Minimum 8 dozen oysters.
Office & Home Delivery Service
Inspired by the pandemic we still offer small group delivery packages. This is great way to impress at your next business pitch and keep service costs low. Your oyster shucker will arrive and shuck out of our trucks, season your sashimi and deliver to your door.
$295 = 48 oysters, 2# (pounds) shrimp cocktail, 1 pound salmon sashimi (up to 10 adults)
$495 = 60 oysters, 4# shrimp cocktail, 2.5# sashimi trio: snapper, salmon, scallop (10-20 adults)
Standard Delivery Fee is $35 within 20 miles; $50 on holidays.
Remember to tip your shucker! This is not a simple pizza delivery, each delivery requires specific preparations and oyster shucking at your location, averaging 2.5-3 hours per order.
Dinner Party or Buffet Service
For intimate celebrations of 24 guests or less we have two set menus to select from or you can work with one of our chefs to curate a menu to your requests. Dinners begin with a cocktail hour with your selection of oysters, shrimp, sashimi, caviar, crab, ceviche, and charcuterie boards. Yes, we have TABC bartenders.
Argentinean Chimichurri Filet Mignon and Flounder served with seasonal vegetables and rolls is preceded by Spring Arugula Salad with shaved Pear, Purple Radish, Onion, Parmesan, Honey Pecans in a Creamy Tarragon Vinaigrette. Seasonal Soup de jour and optional dessert offerings.
South Pacific Thai Lemongrass & Thai Basil Steamed Whole Fish with a sweet chili sauce and herbs served along with, Green Curry Chicken and Jasmine Rice. Paired to cool the palate is a Cucumber, Tomato, and Onion Salad. Finish with a mixed berry compote or French lemon tart. We suggest serving this Asian comfort food dinner family-style.
Buffet Service of both menus may be added on to any raw bar service.

How it Works?
Submit the interest form to the right! We will confirm if we ship to your area and what that cost would be; then you pay your invoice, and your box will be scheduled for delivery!
Shipping costs are not included and calculated once your order form has been received.
How long can you keep your oysters?
Oysters remain fresh kept cold in an open container in your fridge with a damp towel on top for two weeks. Oysters may very likely arrive not very cold; simply ice them down.
