How to open your Barilla Bay Oysters?
If you have purchased unopened oysters with the intent of opening them yourself, here are a few helpful hints.

  1. Always wear thick rubber kitchen gloves - this enables you to get a good hold of the oyster.
  2. Make sure your knife is sharp - more accidents are caused with blunt knives than with sharp ones.
  3. Always point the knife downwards, not towards your hand.
  4. Be very careful, don’t rush.
  5. Use an online guide if unsure

 

Keeping your Oysters fresh

Generally oysters which have been opened will last safely for up to 5 days under correct temperature control. Optimum holding temperature 1-4 degrees Celsius. Unopened oysters will last up to 7 days if stored in hygienic conditions below 7 degrees Celsius and kept covered.

Seasonality of Oysters
Barilla Bay Oysters are readily available for most of the year, depending on the time they spawn. This is when they reproduce; Tasmanian Pacific oysters generally spawn in late summer.
