Description
Crispy and flavorful deep fried oysters that bring the essence of the ocean to your table, served with a homemade tartar sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 32 oz jar oysters, rinsed and drained
- Salt and pepper
- ½ cup flour
- 2 beaten eggs
- 1 ½-2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
- Vegetable oil for frying
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 small onion (minced)
- 2 dill pickles (chopped)
- 1 hard-boiled egg (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients for the tartar sauce. Mix well and set aside.
- Spread flour on a shallow dish. Beat eggs in a second shallow dish. Spread Panko breadcrumbs in a third shallow dish.
- Pat oysters dry with paper towels and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Working with one oyster at a time, dredge the oyster in flour, dip it in the egg mixture, and then coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere. Transfer the breaded oyster to a plate.
- Heat the oil in a 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat. Fry the breaded oysters until deep golden and crisp. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Serve with tartar sauce and creamy coleslaw on the side.
Notes
Keep oysters dry for better breading adherence. Experiment with adding spices to flour for extra flavor.
