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.

I was beginning to think I was the only smoke oyster fan around. Lol
Can’t wait to try this, on a quality cracker or cucumber slice, topped with a sliced black olive. Yum!
Added some chopped garlic and a dash of Italian seasoning …loved how the tastes blended. Delish !!
Hubby and I and both millennial sons love oysters all ways, especially smoked. Can’t wait to try this recipe at Christmas, I know it will be a hit. The chopped scallions pictured make the spread much prettier. Plan to use them.
it’s going I was going to make a cucumber salad on the side for Thanksgiving I think I will just put the oyster spread on top of the Cucumber slices and since I’m Cecilia and I will be using Capers or black olive yay
Do the oysters get chopped?
And, type of oil they are packed in matter?
The type of oil doesn’t matter. No need to chop the oysters, but they will get mushed up as you stir it.
Packed in Olive oil is much much healthier than cottonseed oil.
Having right now with a cold glass of Chardonnay! Thank you!!!!
You have a hilarious typo in the instructions:
“Ass smoked oysters” LOL
Nice recipe, thanks!
I too am an oyster fan…this sounds amazing! Can’t wait to make it the next time I need to take an appetizer to a gathering. I think they will be enlightened on how yummy they can be. 🙂
Oh what a creative recipe! I’ve never had oysteres in a spread like this before. This sounds delicious!
I think I would love this with a glass of white wine.. 🙂
