Ingredients

Instructions

  • Marinate the shucked oysters in a mix of buttermilk, garlic powder, paprika, and oregano. Take them out after 5 minutes and then drain. 
  • Now make three stations for coating the oysters. You will need two plates and a shallow dish for this. The first plate will contain flour, seasoned with salt and pepper. Beat the egg with a little water or milk in the shallow dish. The third plate is for the breadcrumbs. Add the parmesan to jazz it up. 
  • Dredge the marinated oysters in the seasoned flour, followed by a dip in beaten eggs, then a final coating of breadcrumbs. You can use a tong to move around the oysters. Place all your breaded oysters on a plate.
  • Pour the oil into a Dutch oven, a large stockpot, or a deep pan. Heat the oil to 350-375 degrees Fahrenheit. To check drop a piece of bread. It will float on top, getting a fried brown color. 
  • Deep fry the breaded oysters in the hot oil. In 2-3 minutes they will turn golden brown. Take out the deep-fried oysters and drain on a paper towel. 
  • Serve the fried oysters with a sauce of your choice.
