Oyster Fry

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Breading

    In a bowl, mix together the flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Oysters

    In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Dip each oyster into the egg mixture, then dredge in the flour-cornmeal mixture, ensuring they are well coated.

  3. 3

    Fry the Oysters

    Heat the oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded oysters in batches. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the fried oysters hot with hush puppies, tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, fries, and cole slaw on the side.
