What happens when you open an oyster?
From the moment an oyster opens, its meat begins to deteriorate and lose its properties. The reason for this is that oysters have a high water content and, once they open, are exposed to oxidation. This causes the meat to become acidic and lose its flavor. If it is not consumed immediately, the oyster must be refrigerated to prevent it from deteriorating more.
