Prep

Wet batter

Frying oil

Method

Prep

  1. 1

    Shuck the oysters and pat dry with paper towels. Arrange on a platter.

  2. 2

    In a shallow dish, whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne to make the dry coating.

  3. 3

    In a separate bowl, whisk egg with cold beer and 0.25 tsp salt to form a smooth batter.

Frying setup

  1. 4

    Pour neutral oil into a heavy pot to a depth of at least 2 inches and heat to 350–360°F (175–180°C) using a thermometer.

Coat and fry

  1. 5

    Pat oysters dry again if needed. Dredge each oyster in the dry coating, tapping off excess.

  2. 6

    Dip into the beer batter, allowing excess to drip off.

  3. 7

    Coat again in the dry coating for a thick, crisp crust.

  4. 8

    Carefully slide oysters into the hot oil in batches; fry 2–3 minutes, turning once, until golden and crisp.

  5. 9

    Remove with a slotted spoon to a rack or paper towels to drain.

Sauce and serve

  1. 10

    Prepare dipping sauce by whisking mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, pickles, and parsley until smooth.

  2. 11

    Serve the fried oysters immediately with lemon wedges and the dipping sauce.
