OYSTERS

Method

OYSTERS PREP & BEER-BATTER

  1. 1

    Prep oysters

    Line a tray with paper towels. Pat the shucked Willapa Bay oysters dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

  2. 2

    Pour vegetable oil into a heavy pot or Dutch oven to a depth of about 2 inches and heat to 365°F (185°C).

  3. 3

    In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly combined.

  4. 4

    In a separate bowl, whisk egg and cold beer until smooth.

  5. 5

    Dip each oyster into the wet mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the dry batter until fully coated.

  6. 6

    Carefully fry the battered oysters in batches, turning once, until golden brown and crisp, about 2–3 minutes per batch.

  7. 7

    Transfer fried oysters to a rack or paper towels to drain. Lightly season with salt while hot.

  8. 8

    Serve immediately with lemon wedges and tartar sauce on the side.
