Chesapeake Oyster Saltine Bites are a simple, raw-bar style appetizer made with chilled 3 Hands shucked oysters, crisp Saltine crackers, prepared horseradish, fresh lemon, and 3 Hands Island Rehab Sauce.
Ingredients
- 12 Saltine crackers
- 12 chilled 3 Hands shucked oysters (from your pint container)
- 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
- 1 to 2 teaspoons 3 Hands Island Rehab Sauce, or to taste
- 1 lemon cut into wedges
- Optional: finely chopped parsley or chives for garnish
Directions
- Keep everything cold. Place the shucked oysters in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Chill the horseradish, lemon, and Island Rehab Sauce as well.
- Arrange the crackers. Place 12 Saltine crackers on a serving platter or chilled tray.
- Top with oysters. Using a slotted spoon or fork, place 1 oyster on top of each Saltine cracker.
- Add the toppings. Spoon a small dab of prepared horseradish onto each oyster, then add a few drops of 3 Hands Island Rehab Sauce.
- Finish with lemon. Serve with fresh lemon wedges and give each bite a light squeeze of lemon just before eating.
- Serve immediately. Enjoy right away while the crackers are still crisp and the oysters are well chilled.
