Fried Oysters

Pretty basic here. Take them out of their natural juices, dip then in fine corn meal seasoned with Slap Ya Mama, black pepper and a little garlic powder and go directly into 350 degree oil and fry until golden brown.

Don't crowd the pan with too many oysters or the oil can cool down too much, and when done, put them on a cooling rack, not on paper towels.

This has tended to be similar to what I have done. However, I saw a video of someone soaking them in milk and Tabasco before breading them. I was wondering if anyone has tried something like that

If they are fresh in their own juice put as little batter as possible, and just flash fry them. They are too good on their own. If they aren't fresh or not very salty milk/Tabasco not a bad route.

Absolutley glorious provided they are served hot. I go to one place that puts them on a buffet and they suck lukewarm and cold.

Gotta get off the fried and such these days however.

don't dry them out by frying too long.

As soon as they float in a deep fryer they are done.

I drain them, add a little hot sauce, black pepper and salt if needed. Add small amount of mustard and dredge in fish fry and corn meal mixture. I like the oil around 370-375 to start.

Unless you use burned oil all the above methods work.
