Kelly Galway Oysters are the freshest and finest that money can buy. All oysters should be handled and stored properly and we recommend that they be eaten as soon as possible for the best possible flavour.

DO... When the oysters arrive they can be stored in the original basket in which they have been hand-packed deep shell down and covered with fresh seaweed.

The oysters are best eaten within two to three days of arrival but if stored at a temperature of between 4 and 8°c packed in the original basket they should remain fresh for one week after delivery. If any shells are open slightly, tap sharply. Any that do not close immediately should be discarded.

DO NOT... store oysters in a sealed plastic bag or other airtight container.

DO NOT... store oysters where they could freeze, or where temperatures will fluctuate widely or in a warm place.

DO NOT... store oysters submerged in melt-ice water or other standing water.

We have harvested and collected Kelly Galway Oysters in cold, clean, pristine water and have taken great care in our harvesting and handling practices to offer you the best oysters available anywhere. The firm meat texture and extraordinary flavour are due to a melange of factors specific to our region. Enjoy our oysters as they were intended, fresh from Galway Bay.
