How to Make Oyster Fritters

Ingredients

• 1 pint fresh oysters in their own juice
• 1 egg
• beaten
• dash of baking powder
• roughly 1 cup seafood breader mix OR flour with a dash of salt and pepper
• 1 cup vegetable oil

Instructions

Rinse oysters in their own juice, making sure to remove any shell fragments.

In a mixing bowl, add oyster, beaten egg, baking powder and blend. Slowly add flour or seafood breader mix, stirring well. Add only enough flour to thicken the mixture.

Heat a cast iron skillet on relatively high heat and add enough cooking oil to cover the bottom of the pan about 1/4 inch deep.

Fry oyster fritters until brown. For more evenly cooked oysters, rotate each fritter 1/2 turn as it begins to brown and then carefully flip once.

Serve immediately with rolls, ketchup, and mustard or just enjoy oyster fritters as a main dish.
