Fried Oysters Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Breading

   In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, and Old Bay seasoning. Mix well.

2. 2

   Make the Egg Mixture

   In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.

3. 3

   Heat the Oil

   In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

4. 4

   Bread the Oysters

   Dip each shucked oyster first into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then coat with the flour-cornmeal mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

5. 5

   Fry the Oysters

   Carefully place the breaded oysters into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

6. 6

   Drain and Serve

   Remove the fried oysters from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with lemon wedges.
