Oysters and Accompaniments

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Oysters

    Rinse the Gulf oysters under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.

  2. 2

    Dredge the Oysters

    In a shallow dish, combine the corn flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge each oyster in the corn flour mixture until well coated.

  3. 3

    Fry the Oysters

    Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer over medium-high heat. Carefully add the coated oysters in batches, frying for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

  4. 4

    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 cocktail sauce, creole tartar sauce, and house rice on the side.
