Fried La Oysters Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Oysters

   Shuck the oysters and place them on a tray lined with paper towels to drain excess liquid.

2. 2

   Cook the Sausage

   In a skillet, cook the andouille sausage over medium heat until crispy. Remove from heat and let it cool before crumbling.

3. 3

   Make the Batter

   In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. In another bowl, beat the eggs and milk together.

4. 4

   Coat the Oysters

   Dip each oyster in the egg mixture, then dredge in the flour mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.

5. 5

   Heat the Oil

   In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

6. 6

   Fry the Oysters

   Carefully add the coated oysters to the hot oil in batches and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.

7. 7

   Drain and Serve

   Remove the oysters from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Top with crumbled bleu cheese and serve with remoulade sauce on the side.
