Clown assuming the package does not say

Smoked oysters should be ready to eat, used as an ingredient in salads and cold dishes. Check the lable.

Canned, smoked oysters are definitely ready to eat. But, before you do, please reply for an Irish recipe, wraped in bacon, olive oil, pan fried, etc.... Marion

Anything in a can is safe to eat straight out of the can. The canning process ensures that it's safe.

Speaking of smoked oysters. Does anyone have any recipes for them?

Just be careful about eating the whole can in one sitting I did and I ended up feeling like this

Mmmm, smoked oysters! Straight out of the can, yum. But also good mixed with pasta (use the oil in the can as the sauce).

I tend to shy away from recipes that cook them more, since they are already kind of tough from the smoking process and I don't want them toughter. But if anyone does have a good recipe, I'd be interested, too.

Half the bacon strips. Wrap around the oyster and toothpic them. Pan fry in oil and garlic. Make a plain yogart/bluecheese sauce to pour over when done.

Well, Chrose, I must have had a stronger stomach than you because I used to eat them for lunch when I was on Weight Watchers many years ago! My mom used to serve them as an appetizer when I was little.

I'd toss them over hot pasta with a little of the oil and chopped green onion.

Howlieboy, we have lots to offer here besides oyster advice. Come back and enjoy Chef Talk!

Always enjoyed a can of smoked oysters and a few saltines. Once, when I was immersed in the task and savoring every morsel, a com-padre took one look and declared "Look at her eat those, bet she drinks bath water and howls at full moons!" I've never opened a can since without remembering the moment.

This must be the highest concentration of smoked oyster eaters I've ever seen in one place. Normally I can't even get people to sit next to me when I open up a can of them things!

Default smoked oysters

Add another eater. A can of smoked oysters and a stick of saltines goes great with a glass of gin.
