Panfriedoysters Recipes

Steps:

• Drain oysters; blot oysters dry on paper towels.
• In a small bowl, beat the eggs slightly.
• Place flour and cracker crumbs on separate sheets of waxed paper.
• Lightly coat oysters in flour; shake off the excess; dip into egg, then in crumbs, pressing crumbs to adhere.
• Place on a sheet of waxed paper.
• Heat 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over med-high heat until butter is melted.
• Add 1/3 of the oysters; saute 2 minutes or until golden brown.
• Turn oysters and saute another 2 minutes.
• Remove to a baking sheet lined with paper towels; keep warm in low oven.
• Wipe skillet clean; fry remaining oysters in 2 batches; serve warm.

Steps:

• Mix dry ingredients.
• Dredge oysters in this and let sit on paper 5 minutes.
• Heat oil and butter until sizzling hot.
• Add oysters.
• Brown lightly 30-40 seconds on each side.
• Serve immediately with lemon juice or tartar sauce.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a deep fryer to 350 degrees F.
• Whisk together the buttermilk, garlic powder, paprika and hot sauce in a casserole dish. Whisk together the flour, cornmeal, salt and pepper together in a separate casserole dish.
• Add the oysters to the buttermilk and let soak. Then remove, letting the excess drip off, and dredge through the cornmeal mixture, tapping off the excess. Fry in the hot oil in batches, until golden and crisp, about 2 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Serve hot with the Remoulade Sauce.
• Mix together the mayonnaise, mustard, paprika, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce in a small bowl until well combined. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until serving.

Steps:

• Run the corn flakes through a food processor until just ground. In a bowl, combine the remaining ingredients, except the oysters and eggs. Add the corn flakes and stir.
• Dredge oysters in beaten egg, then place in breading mix 1 at a time. Cover oyster in mix by pressing lightly. In a medium saute pan, over high heat, heat oil and add oysters. Oysters will be done when the breading is golden.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the buttermilk with 1 tablespoon of the Essence. Add the oysters and marinate for 20 minutes.
• Combine the masa harina and flour with the remaining Essence in a shallow dish.
• In a deep-fryer or a medium, heavy pot with high sides, heat the oil to 360 degrees F.
• Dredge the oysters in the flour mixture and shake the pieces in a strainer to remove any excess. Carefully add to the hot oil in batches, and cook, turning occasionally, until golden on all sides, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the oysters with a slotted spoon, drain on paper towels, and serve immediately.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

Steps:

• Heat the butter and oil in a skillet. Roll the oysters in the egg and crackers crumbs and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Saute the oysters, turning once, until golden brown. Sprinkle the parsley or paprika on top and garnish with lemon.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat, then raise the heat a little and cook at a bare simmer for about 10 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, then pour through a fine-meshed strainer. (Save any milky juices, solids or foam left behind to add to rice or vegetables.) The clarified butter can be kept in a covered jar in the refrigerator for several weeks.
• Remove the crusts from the French loaf. Tear the bread into chunks and pulse in a food processor or blender to make about 4 cups of crumbs. The crumbs will keep in the refrigerator, loosely covered, for several days, or for longer in the freezer, tightly wrapped.
• Season the flour generously with salt and pepper. Dip the oysters in the flour and then in the beaten eggs. Spread a layer of bread crumbs on a baking sheet. Place the oysters on the sheet and sprinkle with more crumbs. Roll the oysters in the crumbs so that they are well coated, adding more if necessary.
• Heat a wide cast-iron skillet over a medium-high flame. Add clarified butter to a depth of 1/2 inch. Toss in a bread crumb - if it browns quickly the butter is hot enough. Carefully slip in breaded oysters in a single layer, frying in batches if needed to avoid crowding. Adjust the heat to keep the oysters gently bubbling in the butter. It should take about 2 minutes to get a golden, crisp coating. Turn the oysters and brown the other side, then drain on kitchen towels. Serve hot with red-pepper mayonnaise, lemon wedges and arugula or watercress, if you like.

Steps:

• Combine all batter ingredients in a bowl and reserve.
• Heat wok over high heat for 1 minute. Pour in peanut oil, heat to 375°F. Dip each oyster into the batter until well coated. When a wisp of white smoke appears, lower oysters into oil. Deep-fry 5 at a time until light brown, about 3 minutes. Remove oysters, place in strainer, drain over a bowl.
• Deep-fry last batch to a golden brown, about 4 minutes. Place cooked oysters back in oil for 2 minutes more so they become golden brown. During frying, always control heat. You may need to lower if oysters brown too much, or raise if they cook too slowly.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. In a shallow bowl, combine flour, salt and pepper. In another shallow bowl, whisk eggs. In a third bowl, combine bread crumbs, cheese, parsley and garlic salt. , Coat oysters with flour mixture, then dip in eggs, and coat with crumb mixture. Place in a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan; drizzle with oil., Bake until golden brown, 12-15 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk mayonnaise ingredients. Serve with oysters.

Steps:

• Heat deep fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Combine flour, salt and black pepper. Dredge oysters in flour mixture, dip in egg and roll in bread crumbs.
• Carefully slide oysters into hot oil. Cook five at a time until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Drain briefly on paper towels. Serve hot.

Steps:

• HOT SAUCE: Mix all ingredients together.
• To allow flavors to blend, refrigerate several hours.
• Hot Sauce will keep several days in the refrigerator.
• Be sure to cover it tightly.
• Line colander with two layers of paper towel.
• Rinse oysters, drain and put in colander, patting to dry.
• EGG DIP: In small bowl, add egg and milk; whisk to blend well.
• If using only egg whites, do not whisk enough to be dry/frothy.
• FLOUR COATING: Put all ingredients in small plastic bag and shake to mix well.
• PANKO COATING: in a small bowl, add ingredients and mix well.
• TO BREAD OYSTERS: Step 1: Dip 2 or 3 oysters in Egg Dip, letting any excess drain off.
• Step 2: Place them in Flour Coating, shaking to completely coat oysters.
• Remove from Flour Mixture.
• Step 3: Repeat step 1.
• Step 4: Place them in Panko Coating bowl.
• Roll them over and get them completely coated with bread crumbs.
• With tongs, gently remove them from breadcrumbs and place in a single layer on a baking tray lined with plastic wrap.
• Repeat Steps 1-4 until all oysters are breaded.
• Cover breaded oysters with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours or more.
• This breading can be done up to 8 hours ahead.
• TO FRY OYSTERS: Heat frying oil in deep pan to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
• With tongs, gently remove oysters from baking sheet and gently drop them into the hot oil.
• Fry the oysters in small (6-8 oysters each) batches to keep from lowering the temperature of the oil too much.
• Fry about 2 minutes or until golden brown on one side, turn and brown other side (about 1-2 minutes).
• Remove from oil and drain on layers of paper towels.
• NOTE: After cooking one batch of oysters, let the temperature of the oil return to about 375, before cooking the next batch.
• If the oil temperature is not hot enough before adding the oysters, they will taste greasy, rather than light.
• Serve immediately with Hot Sauce.
