Smoked Oysters...Suggestions?

[jayt90]

I took home several cans of smoked Pacific N.W. oysters from Costco but they have languished in the cupboard for months. They have a good intense oyster flavour, but they are also very smoky.

Any suggestions to tame the smokiness?

I used to eat these all the time with crackers and tobasco sauce. The vinegary heat sort of cuts through it. Maybe try some creme fraiche on a cracker topped with an oyster and a dash of hot sauce.

For a party type occasion, you could make little puff pastry cups and fill them with a "mousse"
made from smoked oysters and cream cheese.

For a more casual snack, I drain the oil, add lemon juice and tabasco, and put them on saltines. Thats one of my favorite things.

I make a "hangtown" fry with them. Warm them in a skillet, push them aside scramble eggs, carefully mix them together and top with real crunchy bacon bits. This is a Sunday night dinner quite often for us.

Sliced baguette with a thin spread of mayo, topped with the oyster!

I've made a dip using smoked oysters. Haven't made it in years, but I still have the recipe if you want it.

The only way we ever used these was to serve on crackers with slices of cheese (cheddar, jack...).

Mmmmm, I haven't had that snack in years!
