Method
Fried Oyster Poboy Directions
- 1
Prepare the Oysters
Rinse the oysters under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
- 2
Batter the Oysters
In a bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, and Cajun seasoning. In another bowl, pour the buttermilk. Dip each oyster in the buttermilk, then dredge in the cornmeal mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.

Heat the Oil
In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Fry the Oysters
Carefully place the battered oysters in the hot oil and fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove them and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Assemble the Poboy
Slice the French bread in half lengthwise. Layer the bottom half with shredded lettuce, fried oysters, tomato slices, and pickles. Drizzle with hot sauce to taste, then top with the other half of the bread.
