Crispy Fried Oysters
Ingredients
  • 2 quarts vegetable oil for deep frying
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3/4 cup fine bread crumbs
  • 12 ounces shucked oysters, drained
Instructions
1
Collect and prepare all necessary components.
2
Preheat a deep fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
3
Prepare the seasoning blend by mixing together flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. In another container, whisk eggs until they are well-mixed. Place bread crumbs in a separate bowl.
4
Coat the oysters evenly by first sprinkling them with the flour mixture, then dipping them in the egg and finally rolling them around to ensure a complete covering with bread crumbs.
5
Fry oysters in batches of 5, as they will cook quickly and evenly when submerged in hot oil. The oysters should turn golden brown after approximately 2 minutes of cooking. Remove the fried oysters from the oil with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve the hot oysters immediately.
