Method

For the Chicken Fried Oysters

  1. 1

    Prepare the Oysters

    Rinse the fresh oysters under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Marinate in Buttermilk

    Place the oysters in a bowl and pour buttermilk over them. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Breading

    In a shallow dish, combine flour, cornmeal, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

  4. 4

    Bread the Oysters

    Remove oysters from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each oyster in the flour mixture and set aside.

  5. 5

    Fry the Oysters

    In a deep skillet or fryer, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the oysters in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

For the Spicy Remoulade

  1. 6

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, hot sauce, paprika, garlic powder, and lemon juice.

  2. 7

    Season to Taste

    Add salt to taste and mix until well combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.

For the Po'Boy Assembly

  1. 8

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  2. 9

    Slice the Baguette

    Slice the French baguette in half lengthwise, but not all the way through, leaving a hinge.

  3. 10

    Assemble the Po'Boy

    Spread a generous amount of spicy remoulade on both sides of the baguette. Layer with lettuce, slices of tomato, fried oysters, and crispy bacon.

  4. 11

    Serve with Fries

    Cut the Po'Boy in half and serve with house fries on the side.
