Keeping Oysters till Friday ???

I always rinse to knock off the mudd and grit. I use ice on the bottom, and put the oysters on top with some ice. Yes pull plug, or drain often. You do not want them sitting in ice water.

i worked shucking oysters so here is how every place i worked at did it. the oysters were kept in a freezer in their bags no ice just dont keep them in there for days. we then rinsed them off just to knock off the dirt and smothered them with ice. make sure they are iced at all times or they are not good.
