1
Prepare the Seafood
Rinse the oysters under cold water and set aside. Season the shrimp and scallops with salt and pepper.
2
Fry the Catfish
In a frying pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Coat the catfish in benne seeds and fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
3
Cook the Shrimp and Scallops
In the same pan, add a little more oil if needed. Sauté the shrimp for 2-3 minutes until pink and cooked through. Remove and set aside. Then, sauté the scallops for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and opaque.
4
Serve the Oysters
Place the fresh oysters on a platter, optionally serving them raw with lemon wedges or hot sauce.
5
Assemble the Platter
On a large serving platter, arrange the fried catfish, sautéed shrimp, scallops, and fresh oysters. Serve with your choice of dipping sauces.
