These fried oysters are very simple to make. You can use the same recipe for shrimp and scallops too.
Ingredients
- 2 quarts vegetable oil for deep frying
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- ¾ cup fine bread crumbs
- 12 ounces shucked oysters, drained
Directions
Step 1
Gather all ingredients.
Step 2
Heat oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Step 3
Combine flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl. Place eggs in another bowl. Place bread crumbs in a third bowl.
Step 4
Dredge oysters in flour mixture, then dip in egg and roll in bread crumbs to coat thoroughly.
Step 5
Cook oysters, 5 at a time, in hot oil until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve hot.
