02 — The shell, opened
The hinge holds the whole story
One shell, two lips, and a seam that never quite closes. The nacre inside is laid in rings, one season at a time. We open the shell the same way and leave the rings where they grew.
Shipped in a single layer, seam up, so nothing rests on the shell edge.

06 — Opened questions
Questions we get
Short answers about packing, thawing and delivery. Open one to read it.
01 How are the shells packed?
In a single layer, each piece separated, so nothing presses on the shell edge. The box holds a cooling pack and the whole thing is sealed before it leaves.
02 How should I thaw them?
In the fridge overnight, in the bag, on a plate. Never in warm water: the outer edge thaws first and the centre stays hard, which is what makes shellfish turn soft.
03 Can I cook from frozen?
Oysters and scallops are better started from cold but cooked through. Abalone should be fully thawed and patted dry before it hits the pan, or it will steam instead of sear.
04 When do orders ship?
Monday to Thursday, so nothing sits in a depot over a weekend. Orders placed after Thursday noon go out the following Monday.
