A few oyster crackers on the side while served. That's how we do it in New England.

[Doorman1]

One of my all time favorites. If it is good and we all know yours will be it shouldn’t need anything. I do like to have a few pieces of extra sharp cheddar cheese to go with it.

Sounds good. I like either saltines or oyster crackers.

Oyster

[JohnnyO]

I prefer a good Manhattan clam chowder, not so heavy, with original goldfish crackers

[AdamB]

Wife says Oyster. I'm more a straight up or Saltine man.

[Delta Bass Fool]

I’ll be having pan fried left over Costco rotisserie chicken breast, mashed taters with thick cut applewood smoked bacon bits, and either rice pilaf or shells and cheese.
