Keeping an open bag dry, cool and sealed
Last updated
Every bag here carries the same instruction: reseal it and keep it in a cool, dry place. The guides in this section go bag by bag, since shrimp and quail eggs are raw and come with a hand washing step, mussels are blanched, and scallops should stay out of the sun. Octopus, frog legs, scallops and mussels are the four whose listings call them shelf stable, and what shelf stable means for dog treats explains the word. There is also a note on carrying octopus on a long trip without a cooler.
