In the fridge - I would not trust them longer than a day or two maybe three.


They last a lot longer than this. Resaurants use them up to 10-14 days after harvest date. Oysters have a long shelf life.

You just have to keep them cold and iced up. According to HACCP guidelines you should keep them around 40-45degrees F. It is hard to do this in a regular fridge without ice in the bucket which makes it kind of a pain to keep draining it and icing it but will definitely prolong them. Wholesale seafood companies keep them packed in ice inside of wax boxes until they hit the restaurant.

Here's a link to show this. Oyster Storage Information
