Help with Canned smoked oysters

So I have this can of smoked oysters and I have never had them before (Ive had oysters just not canned ones). I was looking up things to do with them and I really only come across appetizers and spreads. Any other Ideas? I want them in/with a meal. I was thinking of putting them on my salad but am slightly hesitant. I welcome any suggestions for incorporating them into a simple meal. Thanks!
BTW-for any anemics out there the whole can(2 servings) has 70% of your daily iron needs.

    On your salad with the juice sounds good. I do that fairly often with herring and sardines.

    Thanks! I wasn't sure if the texture would be off in the salad, but hey only one way to find out.

    Serve them on a bed of spinach to complete your iron requirement. What about sodium?

    I put them on Pizza, every time, whether I make it or order it. (Drain first of course). Also put them in pasta sauces.

    Toss them with canned octopus, clams, and a firm white fish in a seafood salad. Make a lemon vinaigrette out of lemon juice, red wine vinegar, olive oil, and fresh herbs. You can add some diced tomato, cucumber, maybe some kalamata olives. Honestly, I really dislike canned oysters, but they're tolerable with other seafood in a mix.

    surprisingly the sodium isn't that bad. the whole can (2 servings) is 14% daily sodium rda
    I thought it would be much more

    I love smoked oysters. I usually just eat them on crackers, but there are some great ideas here!
