Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 42m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 dozen small fresh oysters, shucked
2 eggs
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup finely ground saltine crackers
6 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Drain oysters; blot oysters dry on paper towels.
  • In a small bowl, beat the eggs slightly.
  • Place flour and cracker crumbs on separate sheets of waxed paper.
  • Lightly coat oysters in flour; shake off the excess; dip into egg, then in crumbs, pressing crumbs to adhere.
  • Place on a sheet of waxed paper.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over med-high heat until butter is melted.
  • Add 1/3 of the oysters; saute 2 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Turn oysters and saute another 2 minutes.
  • Remove to a baking sheet lined with paper towels; keep warm in low oven.
  • Wipe skillet clean; fry remaining oysters in 2 batches; serve warm.

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.
