Yield Makes 6 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup buttermilk
1/4 teaspoon plus pinch cayenne pepper, divided
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
48 freshly shucked oysters, drained
1 cup cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups safflower oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
6 top-split hot dog buns
Homemade Tartar Sauce, for serving
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Mix together buttermilk, cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Add oysters and turn to coat; let stand 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a shallow dish, mix together cornmeal, flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and a pinch of cayenne; set aside.
  • In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan with high sides, heat oil to 350 degrees on a deep-fry thermometer.
  • Dredge oysters in cornmeal mixture, shaking off any excess. Working in batches, quickly and carefully add oysters to hot oil and cook, turning, until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer oysters to a plate lined with paper towels; season with salt.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Spread butter on both sides of hot dog buns and place in the skillet on their sides, turning, until evenly browned.
  • Spread tartar sauce in the bottom of each bun. Top with fried oysters, and serve immediately with lemon wedges.

I made these po'boys for my family and they loved them! The oysters were cooked perfectly and the bread was so soft and fluffy. I will definitely be making these again.
