Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). To test the oil, drop a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.

Coat the Oysters
Dip each oyster into the prepared batter, ensuring they are fully coated.
- 6
Fry the Oysters
Carefully place the battered oysters into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
