How should I open (shuck) and serve fresh oysters?

Preparation: Always keep oysters stored cup-side down in the fridge before serving to preserve their natural liquor (sea salt water).

How to Shuck: Use a proper oyster knife. Insert the tip into the hinge at the back, twist until it pops open, then slide the blade along the top shell to sever the muscle.

Classic Serving Ideas:

Classic Raw: Serve chilled on crushed ice with lemon wedges and a red wine vinegar mignonette (shallots & black pepper).

Cooked: Try Oysters Rockefeller (baked with spinach, herbs, and butter) or grilled with garlic butter.
How are oysters delivered and how long do they keep?

Chilled Delivery: Shipped in temperature-controlled, insulated boxes (0°C to 4°C) to ensure they stay closed, alive, and fresh.

Storage: Store in the coldest part of your fridge under a damp tea towel. Do not seal in an airtight plastic bag or submerge in tap water.

Shelf Life: For optimal taste and freshness, consume within 3 to 4 days of delivery.
Do the oysters arrive open or closed?
They arrive tightly closed and alive. An open shell that does not close when lightly tapped should not be consumed.

How many oysters should I order per person?
A: As a starter or appetizer, 6 oysters (Half Dozen) per person is standard. For oyster lovers or main platters, we recommend 12 oysters (One Dozen) per person.

Can I freeze live oysters?
A: We do not recommend freezing fresh oysters in their shells as it ruins their delicate texture and natural flavor. Enjoy them fresh!
