How do you  store oysters?
 Store live oysters in the refrigerator at 40 degrees F. If they are not to be used immediately place them deep side down (to retain their juices) in an open container. Cover the oysters with a damp towel or layers of damp newspaper. Oyster store this way will keep up to 5 to 7 days. Open (shuck) shortly before serving-not more than 2 hours.
