Best of the Bay Recipes...oyster Fritters image

When the leaves begin to turn their bright fall colors and the brisk air ushers in autumn, the Oyster season in the Chesapeake Bay begins. Oysters are prepared every way imaginable, fried, roasted, grilled, steamed or simply eaten raw with a dash of hot sauce or lemon. Oysters may be fried either individually or using several bound together in batter, known as a fritter- this is a typical (and delicious) recipe for oyster fritters.

These fritters were amazing! I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out perfectly. The flavor was spot on and the texture was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I will definitely be making these again.

These fritters were easy to make and tasted great! I used panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs and they turned out nice and crispy. I served them with a dipping sauce made of ketchup and mayonnaise.
