Video: How to Make Fried Oysters
The key to crispy and flavorful fried oysters is to season both your oysters and cornflour breading and ensure sure that your fry oil is very hot.

I like to eat my fried oysters on a Lousianna-style po’boy sandwich with ketchup, mustard, and pickles, but you can enjoy them straight out of the pan or with any accoutrements you’d like.
