Pan Fried Oysters have been a favorite in the USA for well over 100 years.  Traditional pan fried oysters are prepared by simply dipping the oyster in egg wash, coating with cracker crumbs, and frying in cooking oil.  Our own chef, Xinh Dwelley, offers you her favorite variation. 

1 or 2 PINTS SHUCKED OYSTERS (RINSED & DRAINED)

BEAT TOGETHER:    2 EGGS

                                     ½ C MILK

                                     1 TSP GARLIC POWDER

                                     SALT & PEPPER TO TASTE

MIX TOGETHER:       1 C BISCUIT MIX

                                     1 C ITALIAN BREAD CRUMBS

                                     1 C FLOUR

Dip oysters in egg wash and coat with breading mix.  Fry in ½” cooking oil in fry pan for 3 – 4 minutes over medium heat until oysters are golden brown on both sides.

Garnish & serve.

NOTE:  If a firmer oyster is preferred, blanch oysters in boiling water for 2 – 3 minutes before dipping in egg wash.

BON APPETIT!
