Method

Oysters Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Oysters

    Shuck the oysters and place them in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the cornmeal, flour, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.

  2. 2

    Coat the Oysters

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

  3. 3

    Fry the Oysters

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the oysters in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

Heirloom Potatoes Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and cut the heirloom potatoes into wedges.

  2. 5

    Season and Roast

    Toss the potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes or until golden and crispy.

Hush Puppies Preparation

  1. 6

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and onion. Stir in milk until just combined.

  2. 7

    Fry the Hush Puppies

    Heat oil in a deep pot. Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
