Preservation Infos

raw oysters (before cooking) : same day, ideally within a few hours of purchase (keep refrigerated at 0-4°C,store flat shell-side down covered with a damp cloth), cooked gratinated oysters : best eaten immediately after grilling (serve hot straight from the oven,if leftovers remain, refrigerate within 2 hours and eat within 24 hours), freezing : not recommended (freezing is not advised for cooked oysters in crème fraîche as texture degrades significantly)
