Can you put oysters back in too tanks after 1 week of chilled transport?
Answers:
If there alive there should be no problems.
How chilled?
It's always a good idea to keep your refrigerator temperature between 32 and 38 °F, and your freezer at 0 °F or colder. Plan to use your seafood purchases within one to two days, or freeze them.
Store frozen oysters immediately in the freezer when you get home from the seafood market. Store them in their original moisture- and vapor-proof packages. Frozen seafood packaged in overwrapped trays should be repackaged in moisture- and vapor-proof plastic freezer wrap, freezer paper or foil before you store them in the freezer. Keep frozen seafood products at 0 °F or below until ready to use.
You can tell if the oysters in the shell are alive, tapping on the shell when open, if they snap shut you are ok, if not they are dead and you need to discard them. Gaping shells indicate that the shellfish are dead and not edible.
