Fried Oyster Recipe

Fried Oyster Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Breading

   In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornmeal, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.

2. 2

   Prepare the Egg Mixture

   In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until fully combined.

3. 3

   Coat the Oysters

   Dip each oyster first into the egg mixture, then dredge it in the flour-cornmeal mixture until fully coated. Set aside on a plate.

4. 4

   Heat the Oil

   In a large skillet or deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

5. 5

   Fry the Oysters

   Carefully place the coated oysters in the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

6. 6

   Drain and Serve

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