Frozen and Canned Oysters

Shucked, raw Eastern oysters are now available frozen; they are also canned (either plain or smoked). Japanese or Pacific oysters are also canned.

TO COOK FROZEN OYSTERS:

Thaw in the refrigerator, then prepare as you would fresh oysters; cook immediately after thawing and NEVER refreeze.

HOW TO USE CANNED OYSTERS:

Because these are fully cooked, they`re best used in quick soups, stews, fritters, and casseroles. The smoked variety is usually served snacks, though they, too, can be used in soups and stews.
