Oyster Preparation

12 pieces Pacific Beach oysters

1 cup 00 bread flour

1 cup Cornmeal

1 tsp Celtic sea salt

1 tsp black pepper

1 tsp Watkins paprika

1 large Egg

1 cup Milk

2 cups olive oil

1 to taste lemon wedges

Method

Cooking Directions

Prepare the Oysters

Rinse the Pacific Beach oysters under cold water and shuck them carefully, keeping the oyster and its juices in the shell.

Make the Batter

In a bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well.

Prepare the Egg Wash

In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until fully blended.

Heat the Oil

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

Coat the Oysters

Dip each shucked oyster first in the egg wash, then dredge in the flour and cornmeal mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Fry the Oysters

Carefully place the coated oysters in the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

Drain and Serve

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