Fried Bon Sequor Oysters

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Oysters

    Start by draining the shucked oysters and patting them dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Make the Breading Station

    In one bowl, mix the flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, and paprika. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.

  3. 3

    Coat the Oysters

    Dip each oyster first into the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and back into the flour mixture to create a thick coating.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot (around 350°F or 175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Oysters

    Carefully place the coated oysters in the hot oil and fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fried oysters from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain. Serve immediately with lemon wedges and tartar sauce.
