Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Food, Cooking, and Game Preparation Smoked oysters.

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?

Ohooooo, Smoked oysters.

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

Out of the shell.

Never had the pleasure of a canned oyster.

I know, spoiled ass coastie

Toothpick and a cracker is the only way I've ever eaten them

Are there canned smoked oysters that are not farmed chinee oysters? That's the only kind I find here.

Not that I'm aware of.

I'm far from a food snob like the potted meat/spam haters here but I do shy away from any kind of fish/shell fish that was farmed in Chinaland.

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!

Toothpick and hot sauce.

Not good on pizza. I've tried it.

Anchovies and artichoke hearts on the other hand....

Haven't had them in decades. Thanks for the reminder.

Same here. 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.

That’s why I’m ascared of them.

Red tide brand! lol

Fortunate that I have fresh oysters available and smoke my own, along with steaming, on da half shell etc. as for the Asian farmed crap, I also look for domestic shrimp.

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..

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.

Cracker
Lay down base of soft stinky cheese
Slice of good salami
Smoked oyster

Now, THAT'S living!

I alwayz keep a couple of cans in the pantry at home and at deer camp. I eat them with ctackers and either hot sauce or brown mustard.

Used to keep a can in backpack while hunting for lunch till a few years ago while hunting in Colorado I must of got some bad ones and made me sick. Haven't wanted any since.

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.
