Deep-Fried Oysters

Ingredients

  • Oyster Items
  • 1 pint Southern oysters (usually 20 to 30, preferably no larger than a half dollar), shucked and stored in their own liquor
  • Breading Ingredients
  • 1 pint buttermilk 1 dry pint cornmeal (about 21/3 cups); I get a crisp crust by using Anson Mills Antebellum fine yellow cornmeal
  • 1 dry pint all-purpose flour (about 21/3 cups)
  • 1 tbsp. Creole seasoning
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt

Directions

  1. 1
    {"0":"Reserve buttermilk in separate container. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients until well blended. Remove oysters from liquor, draining excess so oysters are still wet but not dripping. Place all of the oysters in buttermilk. One at a time, remove each oyster from the buttermilk, allowing the excess to drip back into the container. Toss to coat all sides in the breading (gently press the breading onto the oyster to help it adhere). Transfer to waxed-paper-lined plate or cookie sheet until oysters are all breaded.","2":"In a heavy stockpot with high sides fitted with a deep-frying (or candy) thermometer, bring at least two inches of peanut oil to 375\u00b0F.","4":"Keeping the heat at a steady 375\u00b0F and working in batches of six, fry the oysters until they are golden brown and just cooked through, about 90 seconds. (The oysters will curl slightly when they are done.) Using a slotted spoon, remove oysters and drain on brown-paper-bag-lined plate. Serve immediately with a side of remoulade (next page)."}
