CRACKER FRIED OYSTERS
Steps:
- Drain oysters. Beat eggs in a medium bowl to blend. Add oysters and turn to coat completely. Pour half of saltine crumbs into a 13x9x2" baking dish. Working in batches, lift oysters with a slotted spoon, allowing excess egg to drain back into bowl, and transfer to baking dish. Scatter remaining crumbs over oysters and toss to coat. Cover dish and chill for 2-3 hours. Line a plate with paper towels. Pour oil into a medium heavy skillet to a depth of 1/2". Prop deep-fry thermometer in skillet so bulb is submerged. Heat oil over medium heat to 375°F. Working in batches, fry oysters, turning once, until coating is crisp and deep golden brown, about 1 minute per batch. Transfer to paper towels; season with salt.
Tips:
- Use fresh oysters. Fresh oysters have a briny, sweet flavor that is perfect for frying. If you can't find fresh oysters, you can use frozen oysters, but be sure to thaw them completely before cooking.
- Use a light hand when breading the oysters. You don't want the breading to be too thick, or it will overpower the flavor of the oysters.
- Fry the oysters in hot oil. This will help them cook quickly and evenly. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan, or the oysters will not cook properly.
- Serve the oysters immediately. Fried oysters are best when served hot and crispy. You can serve them with a variety of dipping sauces, such as tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, or remoulade.
Conclusion:
Cracker-fried oysters are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a casual get-together or a special occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that everyone will love.
