Oyster Basket Recipe

Preparation Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the oysters

   Rinse the fresh oysters under cold water and shuck them carefully, keeping the oyster meat in the half shell.

2. 2

   Make the batter

   In a bowl, mix all-purpose flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. In another bowl, whisk the egg and milk together.

3. 3

   Coat the oysters

   Dip each shucked oyster into the egg mixture, then dredge it in the flour and cornmeal mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.

4. 4

   Fry the oysters

   In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the coated oysters in batches and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

5. 5

   Drain and serve

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