Fried Oysters w/Chipotle-Lime Dipping Sauce image

I have to admit, I won't eat a raw oyster, not even if you paid me lots of money. Fried on the other hand, I just can't get enough. This is the way we like ours fried, hope you enjoy! Only difference in our house is the dipping sauce. He likes his with a cocktail sauce and I like mine with the Chipotle Lime Dipping...

OYSTERS
3/4 c all purpose flour
1/2 c self rising cornmeal
1/2 tsp all purpose seasoning (i use everglades)
1/2 tsp paprika
salt and pepper to taste
3/4 c buttermilk
1 pt oysters, drained
cooking oil for frying
CHIPOTLE LIME DIPPING SAUCE
1/2 to 1 canned chipotle in adobo, finely chopped (depending on how hot you like it)
1/2 tsp adobo sauce from the chipotle can
1/2 c mayonnaise
1/2 tsp cilantro, dried
1 tsp lime juice

1/2 c ketchup
1/2 c chili sauce

louisiana hot sauce to taste, couple dashes
salt to taste

Steps:

  • 1. OYSTERS: In a heavy pot, over medium heat, add 3 to 4 inches of vegetable oil and heat to 350 degrees F. NOTE: I use an electric deep fryer.
  • 2. In a shallow bowl, combine the flour and cornmeal with the all purpose seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • 3. Drain oysters well. In a medium bowl, pour the buttermilk over the oysters. Lift the oysters out of the buttermilk, letting any excess drip off, and dredge them in the seasoned flour mixture.
  • 4. Fry them in batches, turning them often, until golden, about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate to drain.
  • 5. CHIPOTLE LIME DIPPING SAUCE: In a small bowl, mix together chipotle, adobo sauce, mayonnaise, cilantro lime juice, and cumin. Taste and add salt, and adjust seasonings. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • 6. COCKTAIL SAUCE: Mix all ingredients together.

I've never had fried oysters before, but this recipe made me a fan. The oysters were crispy and flavorful, and the sauce was the perfect complement.

This recipe was a disaster. The oysters were overcooked and the sauce was too spicy.

I tried this recipe and the oysters were a bit bland. I think I'll add some more seasoning next time.

The recipe was easy to follow and the oysters turned out great. The chipotle-lime dipping sauce was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it.

The oysters were a bit overcooked, but the chipotle-lime dipping sauce was great. I'll try again with a lower cooking temperature.

These fried oysters with chipotle-lime dipping sauce were a hit! The oysters were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the sauce was the perfect complement with its smoky, tangy flavor. I'll definitely be making this dish again.
