A simple Smoked Oyster Spread makes an easy and flavorful party appetizer. It’s creamy with plenty of smoky oyster flavor. Tastes great served on crackers or cucumber slices and makes a wonderful Holiday appetizer.
Smoked Oyster Spread Recipe
Smoked Oyster Spread is made from only 4 ingredients and it is simple to throw together for a party. It may not be the prettiest of dips and to be honest, not the most popular of dips or spreads. Smoked oyster lovers seem to be few and far between. Personally, I like oysters any way I can get them- raw, smoked, steamed, or fried. I never met an oyster I didn’t like.
If you are one of the rare people who fancies the taste of smoked oysters, this Smoked Oyster Spread is positively addicting and so easy to make.
How To Make
Just mix a can of smoked oysters into a block of softened cream cheese and add a little Worcestershire sauce and cayenne pepper.
I add just the oysters and once it is all mixed together, I usually add some of the oil that the oysters are packed in. It makes for a thick and super creamy spread with plenty of smoky oyster flavor.
How To Serve
Smoked Oyster Spread makes a wonderful spread for holiday gatherings and summer entertaining. I love that it can be prepared in advance and just set out with some crackers for an easy, fuss free appetizer. For a low carb appetizer, serve on cucumber rounds.
Add More Flavor
I keep this recipe really simple because smoked oysters are so strong in flavor you don’t need much else. However, you could add a tablespoon of chopped capers, a half teaspoon of smoked paprika, or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
Storage
Once made, this dip will keep for about 3 to 4 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

SMOKED OYSTER SPREAD
Love smoked oysters!
Cream cheese softened the flavor…
Yummy dip/spread
Just made this! Awesome. I added the chopped walnuts as mentioned AND I added bacon bits. I used smoked paprika instead of the cayenne pepper. Wow! Knocked my socks off!! Will definitely make again soon 🙂
You almost got it right…
You need to add chopped fresh walnuts for the contrast and flavor
best on an “Extracheezy RITZ cracker
This recipe sounds so good can’t wait to make it. Do I need to chop up the oysters?
This was definitely easy but if I make it again I would cut the cream cheese in half. Not a string enough flavor for me.
I made this a couple of months ago and I’m getting ready to make it again in a few minutes. I had forgot to rate it last time. But it is so quick and easy and delicious to make!
