Fried Oysters

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Breading

    In a shallow bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Wet Mixture

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

  3. 3

    Bread the Oysters

    Dip each shucked oyster into the wet mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge in the flour-cornmeal mixture until fully coated.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.

  5. 5

    Fry the Oysters

    Carefully add the breaded oysters to the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary, until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fried oysters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot, topped with crumbled bleu cheese, chopped bacon, and a side of Remoulade sauce.
