Oysters, Canned

Oysters, Canned

EverydayCannedDrained

Canned oysters are shelf-stable, pre-cooked mollusks that retain much of the nutritional value of their fresh counterparts. These preserved seafood products are particularly notable for their exceptional zinc content and high-quality protein, while also providing significant amounts of iron and vitamin B12. The tender, pre-cooked meat has a firmer texture than raw oysters and can be used directly in seafood stuffings, chowders, or served as a protein-rich addition to salads.
