The present disclosure provides for a method of preparing at least one oyster in a skillet. The at least one oyster is shucked to form a cupped-oyster on a half shell. The skillet is partially filled with a liquid solution, warmed to a temperature of at least 160 F., and the cupped-oyster is placed in the skillet upside down. The cupped-oyster is cooked for at least 2 minutes and then removed from the liquid solution. A method of preparing at least two dozen oysters in a roasting pan is presented. The at least two dozen oysters are shucked to form cupped-oysters on a half shell. The roasting pan is partially filled with a liquid solution, warmed to a temperature of at least 160 F., and the cupped-oysters are placed in the roasting pan upside down. The cupped-oysters are cooked for at least 3 minutes and then removed from the liquid solution.

A method is provided for packaging live clams in a container. The method includes harvesting the live clams from sea water having a first temperature. The method further includes placing the live clams in a tank of sea water having a second temperature that is less than the first temperature. The method further includes drying, with a blowing device, an outside surface of the live clams after removing the live clams from the tank. The method further includes placing a number of the live clams in the container after the drying step. The method further includes applying a vacuum seal along a top of the container and over the live clams in the container.

Methods are provided for storing and preserving comestible finfish material, preferably so as to extend shelf life of the same. In one optional method, comestible finfish material is placed in a product containing space of a storage container atop a platform of a support structure. The storage container includes an internal compartment having the product containing space. The support structure defines the platform for supporting the comestible finfish material. The internal compartment further includes a reservoir, configured to retain liquid, below the platform. The platform and/or support structure are configured to direct liquid exuded from the comestible finfish material to the reservoir. Optionally, the reservoir comprises an absorbent material for absorbing liquid in the reservoir.

A method is provided for packaging frozen oysters on a half shell in a container. Each frozen oyster on the half shell comprises oyster meat on a round shell. The method includes the step of positioning the frozen oysters within the container in an inverted orientation such that oyster meat of the frozen oysters faces a bottom of the container and the round shell of the frozen oysters faces an opening in a top of the container.
