How Do I Shuck an Oyster?

There is a point or a hinge at the opposite end of the cup.
Take a good sharp oyster knife and insert it in the point.
Apply a little pressure and pop it open. Then cut the bottle
mussel. If this method does not work you can microwave them
on high for about 20 seconds, plunge them in cold water and
then pry open with your knife.

How Long Will Oysters Last?

If the oysters are not immediately fresh, then only 2 or 3 days
may be their storage life. You can tell when an oyster is going
bad. Always make sure the shells are tightly closed. If they
have opened the oyster will loose its fluid. You will know when
you have a bad oyster as the smell is very offensive. Cover your
oysters with a damp cloth and let the oysters breath. They need
an airy place in your fridge.
