Oyster crackers should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Properly stored, they can maintain their crispness and flavor for several months. Avoid storing them in humid environments, as this can cause them to become stale and lose their characteristic crunch. You can also freeze them in a freezer-safe bag to extend their shelf life, though the texture might slightly change upon thawing; they're best used straight from the freezer or toasted to restore crispness.
