I think my mother kept some in the freezer for my father to nosh on with
his cocktail before dinner was ready.

The link doesn't say they're frozen - are they?

Exactly. Interesting about the label, if I remember, I'll look again.
The glass wasn't covered back then, you know, in the olden days.

That's why the memory is fuzzy.

I think I remember them (not that brand or jar) being in the fish
section alongside fresh shucked oysters in glass jars.

I seem to remember them being sold both ways, either frozen or
refrigerated, depending on brand.

I've seen those at the supermarket, too. They come in clear cartons, not
bags. Given the number of posts here over the years about how to make hard
boiled eggs I suppose there's a market for them.

What gets me is the small tubs of pre-chopped vegetables. Need a cup of
chopped celery? Look, it's chopped and it's only $4! Diced tomatoes? How
about the holy trinity - chopped onion, celery and bell pepper? No problem,
buy this little tub. I'm no whiz with a knife but even I can see this is
beyond lazy.
