FRIED OYSTERS
Steps:
- For the Tartar Sauce: Combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer to 350°F, in a deep cast iron skillet, or in a Dutch oven over medium heat to a depth of about 2-3 inches, until it reaches 350°F. If you don't have a deep-fry thermometer, sprinkle a few drops of water on the hot oil. If it sizzles, the oil is hot enough.
- Drain the oysters in a colander and pat dry with paper towels. Use a toothpick to poke a small hole in the large round part of each oyster.
- Put the buttermilk in a shallow dish. In a separate shallow dish, combine the cornmeal, flour, salt, Old Bay seasoning and pepper.
- Add the oysters to the buttermilk and soak for a few minutes. Remove the oysters from the buttermilk, gently shake off excess liquid, and dredge in cornmeal mixture to coat on all sides. Shake off excess breading and transfer to a wire rack.
- Working in batches so that you don't overcrowd the pan, fry oysters until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Drain on paper towels, season with additional salt and pepper (if necessary) while they're still warm, and serve hot with tartar sauce or other dipping sauce.

DEEP FRIED OYSTERS
I acquired a taste for oysters when I was 10 years old, but the oysters had to be deep fried! 26 years later, I still will only eat them deep fried. I think this recipe is simple, yet packs big flavor. I hope you enjoy it.

Tips:
- To ensure the freshest oysters, purchase them live and shuck them yourself just before cooking.
- Use a light hand when breading the oysters to avoid a thick, heavy coating.
- Heat the oil to the correct temperature before frying the oysters. If the oil is too hot, the oysters will cook too quickly and become tough. If the oil is not hot enough, the oysters will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
- Do not overcrowd the pan when frying the oysters. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the oysters will not cook evenly.
- Serve the oysters immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Deep-fried oysters are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. By following these tips, you can ensure that your oysters are cooked to perfection and enjoyed by all.
