Crusty Oysters

Recipe Image

Oysters in a jar can be found in many grocery stores year round. Serve these with mashed potatoes or grilled polenta slices for change of pace.

Preparation facts

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

12 oz (340g) oysters, usually two 6-ounce jars

1/2 cup (55g) flour

1/2 cup (75g) cornmeal

1/2 tsp (3g) salt

1/2 tsp (2g) pepper

3 tsp (15mL) vegetable oil, divided

Directions

Rinse and drain oysters.

Combine flour, cornmeal, salt and pepper in a small dish.

Spray a nonstick skillet with vegetable oil spray, and then place 1 tsp (5mL) of oil in the pan. Heat pan until very hot.

Dredge oysters, one at a time in flour mixture. Place 4 oysters in hot pan and fry until brown on one side. Turn and brown the other side. This should take only about 3 minutes per side. Remove oysters and place on a serving dish.

Heat one more tsp (15mL) of oil in the pan and repeat the process for another 4 oysters. Repeat for the last batch.

Serve while piping hot.
