In a separate bowl, mix the cornmeal and flour together. Remove the oysters from the buttermilk mixture, shaking off excess liquid, and dredge each oyster in the cornmeal-flour mixture.

Fry the Oysters
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the coated oysters in batches and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
