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.

This is simple, easy & delightful!
Made it twice so far! Simple, quick and delicious! Great way to eat more oysters.
Made this dip it’s not bad may add more of the cayenne paper but over all the texture was smooth, no need to add more oil, there is enough of the oyster taste will keep try to improve on the taste to my liking.
Needed hotsauce. I’m going to utilize Cajun spices next time as well.
Love the idea of this! I might try with creme fraiche instead of cream cheese for a bit of a lighter taste but just love the concept, delightful!
So delicious! I added a little lemon juice and replaced the cayenne for paprika. This is only my second time trying smoked oysters and I’m hooked
Do you use all the oil from the oyster tin?
Can’t wait to make this! I love smoked oysters and I’m the only one in my family who does. My mom gets me a 10 pack of them from Costco every Christmas, LOL
Thanks!
Oh my!
I loved this. I whipped the cream cheese with liquid from oysters, Worcestershire and cayenne. Folded in oysters so they remained whole. Great with capers and chopped onion on a bagel for Sunday brunch.
