Method
Fried Oysters
Prepare the Oysters
Shuck the oysters carefully, ensuring to keep them whole. Place them in a bowl and set aside.
Make the Breading
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, cornmeal, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.
Bread the Oysters
Dip each oyster first into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the flour mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
Fry the Oysters
Heat the oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Carefully add the breaded oysters in batches and fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
French Fries
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips.
Soak the Potatoes
Soak the potato strips in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
Fry the Potatoes
Heat the oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Drain the potatoes and pat them dry. Fry them in batches for 4-5 minutes or until golden and crispy. Remove and sprinkle with salt.
Coleslaw
Prepare the Vegetables
Finely shred the cabbage and grate the carrots.
Make the Dressing
In a large bowl, mix the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Combine
Add the shredded cabbage and carrots to the dressing and toss until everything is evenly coated. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Assemble the Plate
Serve
On a large serving plate, arrange the fried oysters, a generous portion of french fries, coleslaw, and slices of bread.
