I was disappointed with these fritters. The oysters were tough and the batter was gummy.

The batter was a bit bland. I think I'll add some herbs or spices next time.

These fritters were easy to make and turned out great! I used panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs and they added a nice crispy texture.

I was a bit hesitant to try these fritters, but I'm so glad I did! They were amazing. The oysters were plump and juicy, and the batter was crispy and flavorful.

I've made these fritters several times now and they're always a crowd-pleaser. I love that they're so easy to make and that I can use up leftover oysters.

These oyster fritters were a hit at my party! They were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a delicious briny flavor. I served them with a tartar sauce and they were gone in minutes.
