Basic Pan Fried Oysters
It really had been way too long since I've fried up a pan of oysters. These are outstanding, and if you want some variety you can do shrimp, scallops and/or a chunk of fish right along with these!Serves 2 Adults for Dinner
10oz jar extra small oysters (about 15)
1 cup Fish fry mix or all purpose flour seasoned with salt and pepper
2 T vegetable oil
Salt and fresh cracked black pepper
Lemon wedge and tartar sauce for garnish
Turn your burner on just a tick over medium heat and add your oil and let it warm for about 4 minutes. Pour your flour mixture on a plate and gently toss your oysters to coat all sides. With tongs (to avoid oil splatter) lay your oysters in the pan. Fry on both sides for about 3 minutes or until lightly browned. Transfer out of the pan with the tongs onto a plate lined with paper towels. Season immediately with salt and pepper and gently roll to remove as much oil as possible. Serve with salad, lemon wedges, a dab of tartar sauce and a crisp white wine!
Oven Fried Oysters (AKA, the "healthier" version!)
Many thanks to our friend and customer Marilyn S. for suggesting this way of preparing oysters! We're addicts at our house and it's really amazing how crispy fried-like you can get the panko coating to turn out. One note of caution though, be careful handling them to keep your crispy on the oyster!Serves 2 Adults for Dinner
10oz jar extra small oysters (about 15)
1 cup panko bread crumbs
Salt and fresh cracked black pepper
Lemon wedge and tartar sauce for garnish
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray liberally with non-stick spray. Pour your panko out on a plate and gently roll and press your oysters in the crumbs to get them as coated as possible. Lay the oysters out on the foil so that they don't touch, season with salt and pepper, and bake at 400 for about 6 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven, gently turn the oysters over (I use two forks for this), and return them to the oven. Switch your oven setting from "bake" to "broil" and cook for about 4 more minutes, keeping an eye out for when the panko begins to brown. Serve on a bed of lettuce with a lemon wedge and a dab of tartar sauce
Great, simple recipe for pan fried oysters. This was my first time cooking oysters this way and they were delicious! I looked at a lot of recipes that were far more complicated and required ingredients I didn’t have. This was by far the simplest recipe I found. The oysters tasted like oysters. Their great flavor wasn’t covered up by any ingredient in the recipe. I will certainly be using this recipe in the future.
