Norovirus Prevention: Oyster Safety and Korea Oyster Prices
Norovirus prevention means cooking oysters to 85°C (185°F) for at least one minute and washing hands with soap for 30 seconds. There is no cure, so fluids matter most. In October 2026, Korean shucked oysters cost about 13,800 won/kg wholesale (about US$10.3), up sharply but below US dockside prices.
