Advice for travelling with oysters

Unopened oysters are good for 5 days if kept at room temperature. Do not refrigerate your closed oysters - around 15 degrees is best. If driving, you may wish to wrap a damp towel around them for peace of mind.

​

Regulations for flying with oysters differ between airlines and terminals. Check before you fly.

 

Once you arrive at your destination, keep them in a cool, shaded spot. Take care when shucking your oysters. Use a specialised shucking tool and seek advice on techniques. 

 

Once opened, you can keep your oysters in the fridge for another 5 days.

​

Opened oysters need to be kept in a clean, refrigerated environment and eaten within 7 days, just like prawns, fish or other seafood.

 

We can supply a foam box with ice to assist with safe transportation, for an additional $8
