Oyster Poboy Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Oysters

    In a mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.

  2. 2

    Batter the Oysters

    Dip each oyster into the egg mixture, then dredge in the cornmeal mixture, ensuring they are well coated.

  3. 3

    Fry the Oysters

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the oysters in batches and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Spicy Mayo

    In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and hot sauce to create the spicy mayo.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Poboy

    Slice the French bread loaves in half. Spread a generous amount of spicy mayo on both sides. Add a layer of lettuce, followed by slices of tomato, and top with the fried oysters.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Close the sandwich, slice in half, and serve immediately with extra spicy mayo, if desired.
