How long can fresh oysters keep in the refrigerator?

About 5 - 7 days. When you store fresh oysters in the shell in the refrigerator, leave the grit and dirt on them. This helps insulate and keep the oysters moist. Make sure they have air, do not put them in a sealed plastic bag because they need to breathe. Put them in a burlap bag or cover them with a damp towel. When ready to shuck, run under cold water, and scrub with a stiff brush.

What may one have to do with the question about storage time of oysters?

Oysters in the shell must be sold live. They should feel heavy and full of water. Live ones will be tightly clamped shut. Dead oysters will have loose shells and must be discarded along with those which have broken shells. The flavor is best when they are consumed within 24 hours of purchase.Store live oysters in the shell, large shell-side down, in a mesh bag or in an open container covered with a damp cloth in the refrigerator (no lower than 33 degrees F or zero degree Celsius) up to five days.Do notseal live oysters in an airtight container -- they will not be able to breathe and will die.Never freeze unshelled oysters.
