Pocomo Meadow FAQ

Q: HOW LONG DO MY OYSTERS KEEP?
Your oysters keep in the refrigerator for 5-7 days! You can order a day or two early to make sure you have them in time for your gathering. They are totally fine hangin’ out in the cool air.

Q: HOW DO I STORE MY OYSTERS?
When you receive your package, pull them out of the styrofoam container (these guys need a little fresh air!). Grab a mixing bowl and throw the mesh bag in the bowl so that the oysters don’t leak all over your refrigerator. Grab a damp cloth and throw the cloth over the bowl. You are good to go for the next 5-7 days. Doesn’t hurt to dampen the cloth each day to keep them moist and chilled.

Q: SHOULD I PUT THE OYSTERS ON ICE?
Only put the oysters on ice before service. The oysters will actually die in the melted fresh water so do not store the oysters on ice. They will not like this.

Q: HOW ARE MY OYSTERS PACKED?
The oysters are packed in a styrofoam container with an outer cardboard shell. There are food-safe gel packs in the package to keep your goods cool through the transit process. We have a “Time Temperature Indicator” in the pack as well to ensure that your oysters did not reach more than 45 degrees for more than 2 hours during your oysters’ trip.

Q: HOW ARE MY OYSTERS SHIPPED?
We ship using FedEx Overnight service. You will receive tracking info after the label has been printed the day before your oysters are set to arrive. We do not require a signature – Fedex will leave your package at your doorstep.
