Storage & handling
Live Pacific Oysters should be stored at 4-8°C, covered with a damp cloth in an airtight container. Pre-opened Pacific Oysters should be consumed on day of purchase.
Angasi Oysters should be covered with a damp cloth and kept closed either with a weight or an individual tie on each oyster and should be stored at 4-8°C in an airtight container.
When opened, oysters should be stored at 0-2°C. Some oyster processors prefer to open the oyster from the front, but this method requires the oyster to be washed free of any shell which may be shattered in opening. Front-opened oysters are typically placed back into the shell post washing, with their belly facing up.

Culinary applications
The ultimate experience is to enjoy an oyster within 20 minutes of opening it.
Pacific Oysters are especially suited to steaming, poaching, roasting, frying and grilling.
Angasi are well suited to wok-frying, pan-frying and roasting. Do not overcook either type.
Larger oysters are great coated with Japanese breadcrumbs and deep-fried, or placed unopened in hot ashes until the lid pops – and eaten straight from the shell.
