Fried Oyster Poboy Ingredients

Method

Fried Oyster Poboy Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Oysters

    Rinse the oysters under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 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.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    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.

  5. 5

    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.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Cut the poboy in half and serve immediately while hot.
