Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 large egg
1/2 cup milk
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups yellow cornmeal
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
3 dozen small oysters, shucked and drained
1 quart vegetable oil
1 loaf French bread
3/4 cup mayonnaise
2 cups thinly sliced lettuce or 2 cups cabbage
Tabasco sauce (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350º.
  • Lightly beat egg, milk, 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoons black pepper in a bowl.
  • Mix flour, 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoons black pepper in a shallow baking dish.
  • Mix cornmeal, 1 teaspoons salt, and cayenne pepper in another small baking dish.
  • Dredge 8 oysters in flour, knocking off excess, then dip into egg mixture, letting excess drip off. Then dredge in cornmeal mixture, knocking off excess. Transfer to a rack or plate until frying. Repeat with remaining oysters in batches of 6-8, until they are all done.
  • Heat oil in a 4-qt. pot over high heat to 375º.
  • While oil is heating, cut bread into 4 equal portions (half and half again) then split horizontally all the way through. Put bread in oven, directly on the rack, until warm - about 5 minute.
  • While bread is heating, gently drop 1/3 of the oysters into the hot oil and fry, stirring occasionally, until golden - about 45-60 sec. Transfer to papertowels to drain. Fry remaining oysters in the same manner and small batches.
  • Spread bread with mayonnaise topping with lettuce and TONS of oysters.

These po' boys were a bit too greasy for my taste, but the flavor was still good. I'll try using less oil next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and my po' boys turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a little more spice to the breading.

The oysters were a bit too salty for my taste, but overall the po' boys were still good. I'll try using unsalted butter next time.
