Oyster crackers are small, round, salted crackers traditionally served as a soup or chowder garnish. Despite their name, they contain no oysters; the name likely refers to their historical pairing with oyster stews in 19th-century American cuisine. Typically made from flour, water, yeast, baking soda, and a touch of salt, oyster crackers are low in fat and calories, making them a light addition to your meal. However, they often provide minimal nutritional benefit beyond carbohydrates and may contain added sodium, so portion control is advised for those monitoring salt intake. While primarily associated with New England and Mid-Atlantic regional dishes, their mild flavor makes them versatile for a variety of soups and broths. Opt for whole-grain or reduced-sodium versions for a healthier alternative. Oyster crackers add a delightful crunch to your meals without overpowering the main dish.
