Oyster Crackers are small-sized crackers, mostly made salty and buttery, and served as a snack-time nibble or as an accompaniment to side dishes with thick gravy. Oyster crackers just contrary to the popular notion, does not contain oyster as an ingredient, but the name is so given because it mainly compliments oyster based dishes and the shape slightly resembles that of a shelled oyster. With their taste similar to saltine crackers, oyster crackers give the crispy and crunchy feel, a quality that many of its fans have fallen for.
