- Turn oysters and saute another 2 minutes.
- Remove to a baking sheet lined with paper towels; keep warm in low oven.

Tips:
- Use fresh oyster crackers. Stale crackers will not fry up as well and will have a less flavorful taste.
- Use a large skillet or Dutch oven. This will give the crackers plenty of room to fry without overcrowding.
- Heat the oil over medium heat. If the oil is too hot, the crackers will burn.
- Fry the crackers in batches. Do not overcrowd the skillet or Dutch oven, or the crackers will not fry evenly.
- Cook the crackers until they are golden brown and crispy. This will take about 2-3 minutes per batch.
- Drain the crackers on paper towels. This will help to remove any excess oil.
- Serve the crackers immediately. Fried oyster crackers are best served hot and fresh.
