Rolls

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Oysters

    Rinse the fresh oysters under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Remove any shell fragments.

  2. 2

    Mix the Breading

    In a shallow bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Egg Mixture

    In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  2. 5

    Coat the Oysters

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

  3. 6

    Fry the Oysters

    Carefully place the coated oysters into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

  4. 7

    Drain and Assemble

    Once fried, transfer the oysters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Place a few fried oysters in each hoagie roll, top with lettuce, and serve with lemon wedges.
