I usually just eat them right out of the can for a quick bite while I'm working.Would like to hear any ideas for recipes, or any other way to eat them. I heard they go great on a homemade pizza but I'm not a big fan of pizza. Any creative ideas? How do you guys eat them?

Cracker with some crystal hot sauce. Or a cracker with some other hot sauce. Or just dump so.e hot sauce in the can of oysters and forgo the cracker. Drain all of the oil off first. Not the star of the dish but can be a substitute in gumbo when fresh shucked oysters ain't around
You'll shoot your eye out

was trying to bait a bear one time at a buddys place in the U.P. he brought a case of smoked Oysters a Client sent to him! guess this fellow sent him a case every Xmas my buddie would eat some but a hole case. so he brought them up for bear bait! we had all kinds of other stuff also. at one bait spot , he opened a tin and ate one, I tried one also, lets just say they didnt get used for bear bait! They were very good!
Deer Camp! about as good as it gets!

Not to say I haven't or won't eat my share of canned oysters, but ya gotta figure most of that farmed shellfish coming out of SEA was raised in sewage ditches. I usually steer clear.

According to this guy the safest ones come from Canada. The funny part is the ones from WA (the land of liberal tree and bunny huggers) aren't much better than those from Chinaland or Korea.. https://www.toxinless.com/canned-oysters

I prefer them raw out of the shell. Green hab hot sauce and a squeeze of lime. Canned on a cracker, maybe a squeeze of brown mustard. Can’t think of any recipe they would be good in.

Wifey started eating hummus, I'd never seen the stuff and only time I'd heard of it was on an episode of Seinfeld. Anyway i love smoked oysters (Reese brand is the best I've had), I decide I like the hummus too now, so 2-3 times a week now my lunches are salitnes, slice of cheese, dollup of roasted red pepper hummus or the supremely spicy hummus, and a smoked oyster on top.

While we prefer raw & fresh, we do eat 'em ! Thin slice of baguette, schemer of cream cheese, a bread n butter pickle slice & top with smoked oyster.Great snack. Doesn't compare to these though;

We do what's called a red rooster. Saltine and oyster and pickled jalapeno slice and hot horseradish and hot sauce on top. Clear your head sinuses for sure.

Brought back 3 coolers full from the gulf coast here in Tx a couple of years ago and we had em every way you can think of, but my wife made me a breakfast I miss. Egg scramble with fresh oysters, green onions, mushrooms, and some type of cheese. It was really delicious.

I like oysters fried, and cooked in a casserole. Only tried the smoked ones once and didn't care for them. Wouldn't touch them raw, as I don't eat any kind of raw seafood.

Tried two of them on the half shell once. One with nothing and another dipped in cocktail sauce, sauce wouldn't even stick to the slimy little bastard. Sure couldn't see what the fuss was. Tasted like a big salty fugging wad of snot. Not my cup of tea for sure. My dad loves the raw little bastards.
