Coat the Oysters
Dip each oyster first in the flour, ensuring a light coating, then in the buttermilk mixture, and finally in the cornmeal mixture, ensuring they are well-coated.

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

Fry the Oysters
Carefully add the coated oysters to the hot oil, frying them in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
