Detailed explanation-1: -Store fresh shucked oysters in their original container in the refrigerator at 30° to 34°F (-1° to 1°C). They will keep up to 1 week.
Detailed explanation-2: -The temperature of the refrigerator should be maintained at 35°F to 40°F to discourage growth of harmful organisms as the fish thaws. Thaw Fish Not Frozen in Ice: Leave the fish wrapped and place on a platter or a tray to catch the drippings as it thaws.
Detailed explanation-3: -Frozen foods should be stored at –18°C (0°F) or lower. If the temperature rises above –18°C, food can become discoloured and lose vitamin content. Lowering the temperature after it has risen does not correct the damage. Frozen food must be kept at −18°C or lower to maintain its quality.
Detailed explanation-4: -Refrigerate live clams, oysters, mussels, crabs, lobsters and crayfish in well-ventilated containers.
