Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Oysters
Shuck the fresh oysters and place them in a bowl. Set aside.
Make the Batter
In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk. Combine the wet and dry ingredients until just mixed.
Coat the Oysters
Dip each shucked oyster into the batter, allowing excess to drip off.
Fry the Oysters
Carefully place the battered oysters into the hot oil. Fry in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
