About fried oysters
Fried Oysters are a Southern United States seafood preparation in which shucked oysters receive a dry flour coating before frying. This profile follows Southern Living's double-dredged wheat-and-corn-flour version cooked in peanut oil.
The oysters remain briny and lightly sweet inside while the seasoned coating adds toasted corn and wheat flavour. Peanut oil produces a clean fried finish, with black pepper giving a gentle savoury bite.
The oysters are irregular golden-brown morsels with a rough, craggy crust. Beneath the crisp coating, the mollusc stays plump, pale and softly custardy rather than dry.
