How it reaches you

The oysters are laid on a dedicated serving plate, and the plate goes inside an ice box with ice so they stay cold and fresh all the way to you.

Storage

Keep them closed in the fridge for up to 48 hours. Once an oyster is opened, eat it straight away.

How to open and serve

Open each oyster just before eating. Hold it flat in a folded cloth, push an oyster knife into the hinge, twist to pop it, then slide the knife under the meat to free it. Serve on crushed ice with lemon. Prefer them warm? Grill for 4–5 minutes, until the shells open.

Delivery

Why cold chain decides the taste

Seafood is not judged at the moment it is cooked but at every hour before it. A break of two degrees for an hour costs more than an extra minute on the heat ever will. Every order leaves our facility cold and stays cold until it reaches the door, which is the reason a piece from us behaves differently in the pan from one bought loose at room temperature.

Buying for a week rather than a day

Households that shop once a week get more out of an order than those who buy daily: the pack is opened once, portioned, and what is not needed goes back sealed. Split the pack into meal-sized portions before storing rather than after, and label the date. It removes the guessing later and stops the whole pack being thawed for one meal.

Ordering and delivery

Orders placed before 5 PM go out the same day in one of three windows, and orders above EGP 2,499 ship free across the delivery zones. Check the box in front of the courier before he leaves — anything that arrives outside its temperature or damaged is replaced, and that check takes seconds.
