I have to admit, I won't eat a raw oyster, not even if you paid me lots of money. Fried on the other hand, I just can't get enough. This is the way we like ours fried, hope you enjoy! Only difference in our house is the dipping sauce. He likes his with a cocktail sauce and I like mine with the Chipotle Lime Dipping sauce. Thanks to Homesick Texan for this wonderful dipping sauce. http://homesicktexan.blogspot.com/2011/02/fried-oysters-chipotle-lime-sauce.html

How To Make fried oysters w/chipotle-lime dipping sauce

  • 1
    OYSTERS: In a heavy pot, over medium heat, add 3 to 4 inches of vegetable oil and heat to 350 degrees F. NOTE: I use an electric deep fryer.
  • 2
    In a shallow bowl, combine the flour and cornmeal with the all purpose seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • 3
    Drain oysters well. In a medium bowl, pour the buttermilk over the oysters. Lift the oysters out of the buttermilk, letting any excess drip off, and dredge them in the seasoned flour mixture.
  • 4
    Fry them in batches, turning them often, until golden, about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate to drain.
  • 5
    CHIPOTLE LIME DIPPING SAUCE: In a small bowl, mix together chipotle, adobo sauce, mayonnaise, cilantro lime juice, and cumin. Taste and add salt, and adjust seasonings. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • 6
    COCKTAIL SAUCE: Mix all ingredients together.
