Method

Fried Oyster Preparation Steps

1

Prepare the Oysters

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

2

Make the Breading

In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

3

Prepare the Egg Mixture

In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.

4

Heat the Oil

In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.

5

Coat the Oysters

Dip each oyster first into the egg mixture, then dredge them in the flour-cornmeal mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.

6

Fry the Oysters

Carefully place the coated oysters in the hot oil and fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

7

Drain and Serve

Remove the fried oysters from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
