Yes you can freeze them. Just make sure they have water in them. They will freeze fine and should last for a while (6months or longer).


Really? I've froze them in a gumbo and in a container and could tell they had a mushier texture both ways. Didnt care for it. You would know more about such things than me though...

Maybe because you froze them cooked then thawed them out and cooked them again to warm it up. Not sure but if it's frozen raw they should be ok. The texture might change some but I don't think I've noticed that big of a change before with frozen raw.

To Goodtimes, oysters can be eaten all year round. The R thing may have been more for the olden days. Oysters will be skinnier in the summer and most people seem to prefer the size and taste more in the cooler months.

Mr. Balls, I had some fresh oysters freeze in the angry cold spot of the fridge. I defrosted and fried them up. They were fine.

I don't think any cooked seafood freezes well in gumbo. I freeze the gumbo sans the seafood when I make it. I just add fresh seafood the amount I'm going to use at the time and freeze the rest, adding fresh to it when it thaws and is heated.
