FAQ
Oysters, Cool
Oysters like to be kept cool. Store them in the fridge!
When serving ~ a nice bed of ice, but do not let them sit in water—it's not good for them.
If storing in a cooler, make sure the cooler can drain.
Most of the time, oysters stay fresh in your fridge for 7-10 days.
How to Shuck
It's a shuck 'n rite of passage. You're in the cult now.
Watch this simple tutorial. And follow these easy steps.
- Wear protection.
- Insert knife into hinge at 45° angle and twist until it pops.
- Slide the blade across the top shell to detach.
- Slide/scoop the blade under the oyster to cut the lower adductor free. Go forth and shuck!
The "R" Month Rule
There used to be cautionary tales about eating oysters in the warmer months. When refrigeration and scientific testing were not as prevalent, the "R" rule cautioned against eating oysters in warmer months without an "R," May, June, July and August.
It's true that warmer water temps can foster algae blooms, red tides, and higher counts of vibrio (a naturally occurring bacteria in the ocean), which explain the avoidance rule.
However, the commercial shellfishing industry has strict regulations around closing warmer water areas to take precautions against potential food borne risks.
In the summer, we only curate from colder year-round waters, such as Maine, Duxbury Bay, and Canada.
Foodborne Allergies
Of course, it goes without saying, but we have to say it: be careful of food borne allergies, which can affect all raw fish, poultry and seafood.
