how do you fry oysters?

Answer 1

Rinse them to remove any leftover sand, dip them in milk, then "dredge them" in a mixture of flour, corn meal, salt and pepper. Saute them in a skillet coated with butter for best flavor or oil. When one side is crisp turn them over... but only once, frying them too long makes them stringy.

Answer 2

Umm! Oysters. Now you're talkin'. Love 'em. Normally I order them at a seafood restaurant and don't fix fried oysters myself. I can tell you what makes fried oysters really good. Light frying, not heavily fried on a real hot burner or fried for too long. They must be so light that they melt in your mouth. Not a lot of fat, light breading but enough to protect that delicate oyster. This is what I look for in a good fried oyster in a restaurant. Makes me hungry for them just writing about it, and I don't have a good seafood restaurant locally. Just moved. Guess I'll have to learn how to cook fried oysters myself. How's that for irony?

Answer 3

You can buy fresh or canned and clean them, put some of your favorite seasonings in some flour and dip the oysters in beaten eggs and then shake them up in a bag with the flour and then put some oil in a pan and heat the oil (be careful, not too hot), then lay them in the oil and turn them till golden and yum-yum!
