Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Deep-Fried Oysters.
Step 1
To start your delicious journey of making crispy deep-fried oysters, gather all your ingredients and set them within easy reach.
Step 2
Next, heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer to a sizzling 375°F (190°C) – this is the perfect temperature for achieving that golden crunch.
Step 3
In a shallow bowl, combine flour, salt, and black pepper, mixing them well to create a flavorful coating.
Step 4
In another bowl, beat a few eggs until they’re nice and frothy, and in a third bowl, pour in some fine bread crumbs for that irresistible crunch.
Step 5
Now, it’s time to prepare the oysters! Take each one and first dredge it in the flour mixture, making sure it’s fully coated.
Step 6
Then, dip the oyster into the beaten eggs, letting any excess drip off.
Step 7
Finally, roll it in the bread crumbs, ensuring it’s well covered for that perfect crispy finish.
Step 8
When you’re ready to fry, carefully place about five oysters at a time into the hot oil.
Step 9
Fry them until they turn a beautiful golden brown, which should take around two minutes.
Step 10
Once they’re cooked to perfection, use a slotted spoon to remove the oysters and let them drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
Step 11
Now, it’s time to serve these crispy delights! Enjoy your hot, golden-brown deep-fried oysters straight away, and savor every bite of this mouthwatering treat.
