INSTRUCTIONS / STORAGE

• Hog Island Oyster Co. ships Monday-Thursday of each week.
• Orders cannot be shipped to P.O. Boxes.
• Orders shipped to Alaska and Hawaii via 2-day will incur an additional $20 charge or $35 for Overnight Shipping. Sorry guys!

• Live oysters ship fresh and love to be cold, damp, and able to breathe.
• Upon arrival, remove oysters from the bag, place a colander in a bowl so shellfish can drain well, and cover with a clean, wet kitchen towel.
• Keep refrigerated between 34-40°F.
• Never submerge shellfish in fresh water or salt water.
• Bivalves may open their shells slightly to breathe – this is normal and means they’re healthy.
• Discard any oysters whose shells are broken or do not close tightly when tapped.
• Best enjoyed within 3-4 days of delivery.

To Serve

• When ready to serve, shuck oysters and place on a platter of ice to keep them cold.
• Enjoy naked, with a squeeze of lemon, a splash of hot sauce, or a touch of Hogwash Mignonette.
