Don't Buy Watered oysters.

Oysters should never be watered or
packed directly in ice. The ice should
be around the container. Otherwise
the sharp, jagged edges of the ice cut,
mangle and batter the oysters, spelling
their looks and running their delicate
flavor.
The oyster is salt water she'll fish.
When put into fresh water it puffs up
and loses it's pleasant, piquant flavor.
1t is just rs unnatural to soak oysters
in ice and fresh water rs to subject a
finc, juicy steak to such treatment.
"Sealshipt" Oysters are the only kind
that are properly packed. They are
shucked into alright, steel containers
and leo is packed around the contain
