FRIED OYSTERS

Virginia is known for its fresh Chesapeake Bay oysters, and this crispy Deep Fried Oysters recipe is the best way to prepare them!

Provided by Blair Lonergan

Categories     Appetizer     Dinner

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pint fresh shucked oysters (about 18 oysters total)
Peanut oil, for frying
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon minced fresh dill or parsley, optional
1 ½ tablespoons freshly-squeezed lemon juice
Salt and pepper, to taste

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.

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.
