Waterman's Pride® ensures high quality by buying only oysters that yields meats of the most desirable type which will be delivered in the freshest possible condition.

Handling/Storing

Oysters in the shell must be kept chilled, away from melting ice, as fresh water will suffocate them. To keep oysters alive, place them in an open container in a cooler (34 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit) and cover with a clean, wet towel to prevent them from drying out. Shucked oysters need to be packed in ice.
