Fry the Oysters
In a shallow dish, combine the cornmeal, flour, cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Dip each oyster in buttermilk, then dredge in the cornmeal mixture. In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the oysters in batches for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
