Smoked Oysters

These are absolutely the best smoked oysters I’ve ever had. There’s a subtle sweetness underneath that adds a pleasant balance to the smokiness, and the usual seawater “fishy” note is far less pronounced than in many other premium brands—which I find refreshing. No unpleasant aftertaste, either. And as shown, they’re huge! I think I’ve found my new favorite brand of smoked oysters. I don’t write reviews very often, but Otter Kingdom Premium Smoked Oysters definitely deserved the praise.

really tasty and very affordable. great way to get more protein and minerals into my diet. better than any of the brands i found in store.

I read all the reviews on amazon about these oysters. I figured that I would take a chance regardless of the few low ratings. I love them!!! These are large. These are tastey. None of the negative stuff others found wrong with them. I will be ordering them again and again. I did not find them over priced really--they were quite reasonable for the quality.

You only have to open the tin to see these are quality oysters. Their size is uniform and they are sitting like little pillows in the tin, all lined up. The greatest strength of these oysters is also their weakness, depending on your point of view. They taste more like fresh oysters than any smoked oysters I have ever eaten. But they also don't have much smoky flavor. I could have done with a bit more smoke to them, but I can see how a lot of people would prefer them this way, especially with so many tinned smoked oysters being smoked half to death. I would have given these oysters five stars if they had just been seasoned a bit more, either with smoke or with something else. Just a hair more smoke would have been perfect. They also have a version seasoned with red chili pepper, which might be a better option for those who like spicy foods.

Our family has been eating oysters for years, but this Otter Kingdom brand has to be the tastiest ever-- tender and flavorful-- Highly Recommended. Re: what a previous reviewer had posted: “These oysters come with a Prop 65 “Reproductive Health” warning on the packaging.” After looking into this Prop 65 warning, I found that most products that come from the ocean could have absorbed mercury, so this California Prop 65 label is stuck on a lot (if not all) of fish/seafood products. But each kind of fish/seafood has a different level of exposure. According to the LiveStrong website article: “Which Fish Has the Highest and Lowest Mercury Levels?” the seafood with the lowest mercury content includes: catfish, clams, crab, herring, OYSTERS, salmon, sardines, shrimp, tilapia fish, tuna fish, among others. These should be eaten no more than 2 to 3 times a week (most people stay within that guideline). It’s the larger-sized fishes that tend to have higher mercury content, so oysters are of no more concern than any other small fish. Just wanted people to not get out bent out of shape about this label. The State of CA has a lot of concerns to deal with-- like wildfire devastation caused by their policy to restrict water from flowing from the north of the state, so it would probably be better for them to focus on THOSE life-endangering issues rather than sticking all these "WARNING" labels on food products! Right?

Great flavor. I enjoyed them

I buy these specifically because they are packed in olive oil and only olive oil, which is hard to find. they are expensive but the quality is supreme. I have a problem trying not to eat a can every day when I’m supposed to only be eating two a week.

I absolutely love oysters. This is hands down the best canned oysters I’ve had. I never like them because they are small. When I’m telling you these are equivalent to fresh raw oysters.

Various sizes in the tin, all delicious. Clearly better quality than the cheap stuff.

La verdad no pensé que me gustarían tanto, pero saben muy ricas! Y son una excelente fuente de hierro. 100% recomendables

I eat a lot of tinned fish product. This is a quality tinned oyster with plump meaty oysters and well packed. No broken pieces and the oysters are of a very good size. I recommend!

These are a dream,and no crappy oils!

Amazing product! Worth it!
