Fresh from the shell is always preferable, but I don't shuck oysters.
Did I just hear you volunteer to shuck them for me?

The jarred type are perfectly fresh, except somebody else has done the
work. I presume they are from oysters whose shells were somehow
damaged and couldn't be sold in their shells. I don't know and I
don't care what the real story is. That's what I buy when I am
cooking oysters.
