DEEP-FRIED OYSTERS image

Categories     Shellfish     Appetizer     Fry

Number Of Ingredients 7

Oyster Items
1 pint Southern oysters (usually 20 to 30, preferably no larger than a half dollar), shucked and stored in their own liquor
Breading Ingredients
1 pint buttermilk 1 dry pint cornmeal (about 2¹/³ cups); I get a crisp crust by using Anson Mills Antebellum fine yellow cornmeal
1 dry pint all-purpose flour (about 2¹/³ cups)
1 tbsp. Creole seasoning
1 tsp. kosher salt

Steps:

  • Reserve buttermilk in separate container. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients until well blended. Remove oysters from liquor, draining excess so oysters are still wet but not dripping. Place all of the oysters in buttermilk. One at a time, remove each oyster from the buttermilk, allowing the excess to drip back into the container. Toss to coat all sides in the breading (gently press the breading onto the oyster to help it adhere). Transfer to waxed-paper-lined plate or cookie sheet until oysters are all breaded. In a heavy stockpot with high sides fitted with a deep-frying (or candy) thermometer, bring at least two inches of peanut oil to 375ºF. Keeping the heat at a steady 375ºF and working in batches of six, fry the oysters until they are golden brown and just cooked through, about 90 seconds. (The oysters will curl slightly when they are done.) Using a slotted spoon, remove oysters and drain on brown-paper-bag-lined plate. Serve immediately with a side of rémoulade (next page).

These oysters were a bit too salty for my taste, but the flavor was still good. I think I'll try using less salt next time.

I'm not a big fan of oysters, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I'm so glad I did! The oysters were cooked perfectly, and the breading was crispy and flavorful. I'll definitely be making these again.

These oysters were amazing! The breading was crispy and the oysters were cooked perfectly. I served them with a tartar sauce and some lemon wedges, and they were the perfect meal.

The oysters were a bit too oily for my taste, but the flavor was still good. I think I'll try baking them next time instead of frying.
