Crown Prince Natural Smoked Oysters in Pure Olive Oil, 3 Ounce

I cannot find this brand of oysters around here so was happy to purchase them from Amazon. The value is good seeing as I can’t find them anywhere. Love the smoky oyster flavor and eat them on cucumbers! Great for a keto lifestyle which is perfect for me. Great zinc source.

I love smoked oysters and these are the best.

Best smoked Oysters in olive oil.

There's no off, metallic taste like with many of the Chinese brands. The flavor is mellow but not at all smokey. If you like a very mild smoke taste, then these are for you. However I like a stronger smoke flavor so I won't be buying more...

I only eat oysters that are packed in olive oil. Many are packed in inferior and less healthy oils, like "cotton seed oil." (Would you eat a t-shirt? So, why eat oil from a cotton seed?)So, that limits me to two brands, Crown Prince and Otter Kingdom, and the two are interchangeable to me. (I often use these Crown Prince oysters to get my Amazon Fresh orders above the minimum limit for free delivery. I know I'll eat them.)The way I prepare them is to put them on a healthy cracker, like the ones from WASA. I empty the can on the crackers, so both crackers get the olive oil and the oysters. I arrange the oysters evenly, which takes a few seconds. Then I dust them with lemon pepper seasoning. This really bring out and balances the oyster flavor.Finally, I microwave the oyster crackers I've made for about five minutes on 20% to warm them up without getting them hot. (Different microwaves will have a different optimal time for this.) Warming them up brings out flavor too.In a few minutes I have a fantastic snack with iron, calcium, protein, and no adverse health effects from cheap, heavily processed crackers or cheap oils that's don't come from real food, like cotton seed or canola oils. The Crown Prince of snacks indeed.

I got these and I really like them. The olive oil is a bit heavy for me so I do rinse quite a bit of that off but I like the fact that these are from a controlled clean water farm that is not in China. They cost a bit more than the grocery store oysters that you can find but they meet my quality criteria and to me that's worth it.

Crown Prince is the gold standard for affordable smoked oysters. The flavor is smoky, and they are always packed in Olive Oil for healthy snacking. The oysters are generally uniform in size. They are good protein and will make your belly happy.

the only product I could find without grit to crunch your teeth on ! wonderful
