Method

Fried Oysters Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Oysters

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

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In one bowl, place the flour mixed with salt and pepper. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk. In a third bowl, combine the cornmeal with paprika.

  3. 3

    Bread the Oysters

    Dip each oyster first in the flour mixture, then in the egg mixture, and finally in the cornmeal, ensuring they are well coated.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet, heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Oysters

    Carefully place the breaded oysters in the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

    Make the Remoulade Sauce

    In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, capers, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper. Mix well and refrigerate until serving.

    Serve the fried oysters hot with the remoulade sauce on the side and lemon wedges for squeezing over the oysters.
