Fried Oysters

Method

Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare Oysters

Shuck the fresh oysters and place them on a plate, making sure to keep the liquid inside each shell.

2

Make Breading Station

In one bowl, combine flour, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. In another bowl, whisk together eggs and milk.

3

Coat Oysters

Dip each oyster into the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and finally coat with cornmeal.

4

Heat Oil

In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

5

Fry Oysters

Carefully add the coated oysters to the hot oil in batches. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

6

Serve

Serve the fried oysters hot with lemon wedges and tartar sauce on the side.
