Yield Makes 6 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup buttermilk
1/4 teaspoon plus pinch cayenne pepper, divided
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
48 freshly shucked oysters, drained
1 cup cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups safflower oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
6 top-split hot dog buns
Homemade Tartar Sauce, for serving
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Mix together buttermilk, cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Add oysters and turn to coat; let stand 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a shallow dish, mix together cornmeal, flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and a pinch of cayenne; set aside.
  • In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan with high sides, heat oil to 350 degrees on a deep-fry thermometer.
  • Dredge oysters in cornmeal mixture, shaking off any excess. Working in batches, quickly and carefully add oysters to hot oil and cook, turning, until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer oysters to a plate lined with paper towels; season with salt.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Spread butter on both sides of hot dog buns and place in the skillet on their sides, turning, until evenly browned.
  • Spread tartar sauce in the bottom of each bun. Top with fried oysters, and serve immediately with lemon wedges.

These po' boys are perfect for parties because they're easy to make ahead of time and can be served at room temperature.

I've tried this recipe with different types of bread, and I think a soft, fluffy bun works best.

If you like a bit of heat, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the remoulade sauce.

I found that the oysters were extra crispy when I coated them in a cornstarch batter before frying.

This recipe is a disaster. The oysters were completely inedible and the bread was like cardboard.

I was really looking forward to trying this recipe, but I was disappointed. The oysters were mushy and the bread was soggy.

The po' boys were good, but not great. The bread was a bit too dry and the oysters were slightly overcooked.

I made a few minor adjustments to the recipe, such as using a different type of bread and adding a bit more spice. Overall, I was very happy with the results.

I'm not sure I would have attempted to make this recipe if I hadn't had a friend who is a chef. It was challenging, but the end result was worth it.

I love that this recipe uses whole wheat bread instead of white bread. It makes the po' boys a bit healthier without sacrificing any flavor.

The flavors in this recipe are amazing. The oysters are perfectly complemented by the bread and the remoulade sauce.

I was skeptical at first, as I'm not a huge oyster fan, but these po' boys were amazing! The oysters were perfectly fried, and the bread was soft and fluffy.
