I'm not a big fan of seafood, but I actually really liked these fritters. The cornmeal coating was perfectly crispy and the oysters were cooked perfectly. I'll definitely be making these again.

These fritters were a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more herbs and spices next time.

These fritters were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

These fritters were delicious! I used fresh oysters and they were so plump and juicy. The cornmeal coating was crispy and flavorful. I'll definitely be making these again.

These fritters were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try baking them next time instead of frying them.

Not a fan. The fritters were bland and the oysters were gritty. I think I'll stick to my usual fried oyster recipe.

These fritters are amazing! I love the crispy edges and the soft, tender interior. The oyster flavor really shines through, and the herbs add a nice touch of flavor. I'll be making these again and again.

I was a bit skeptical about these at first, but I'm so glad I tried them! The combination of the oysters, cornmeal, and herbs is perfect. They're also really easy to make, which is a bonus.
