BEST OF THE BAY RECIPES...OYSTER FRITTERS
When the leaves begin to turn their bright fall colors and the brisk air ushers in autumn, the Oyster season in the Chesapeake Bay begins. Oysters are prepared every way imaginable, fried, roasted, grilled, steamed or simply eaten raw with a dash of hot sauce or lemon. Oysters may be fried either individually or using several bound together in batter, known as a fritter- this is a typical (and delicious) recipe for oyster fritters.

OYSTER FRITTERS
I like pan-fried oysters, but those are rolled in cornmeal, not typical appetizer fare. These little fritters can be served as both appys and entrees. I am not sure of the serving size because that all depends on how big or little you make them. So, I'm just stating that the yield is one batch.

Tips:
- Use fresh oysters. Fresh oysters have a briny, sweet flavor that is perfect for fritters. If you can't find fresh oysters, you can use frozen oysters, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
- Shuck the oysters carefully. To shuck an oyster, hold it in one hand and insert a small, sharp knife into the hinge. Twist the knife to pry the shell open. Be careful not to cut yourself.
- Reserve the oyster liquor. The oyster liquor is the liquid that is inside the oyster shell. It is full of flavor and can be used to make a delicious sauce for the fritters.
- Use a light coating. The coating for the fritters should be light and airy. A heavy coating will make the fritters greasy and dense.
- Fry the fritters in hot oil. The oil should be hot enough to fry the fritters quickly and evenly. If the oil is not hot enough, the fritters will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
Conclusion:
Oyster fritters are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a party or a casual meal. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect oyster fritters every time.
