Ingredients

Directions

  1. Season oysters with salt and pepper on both sides. Place cornmeal in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper. Dredge each oyster into the cornmeal and tap off any excess. 
  2. Heat 1 inch of oil in a large cast iron skillet until smoking. Fry oysters in batches until golden brown on both sides, about 1 minutes on each side. 
  3. Serve with the Red Chile Vinegar-Black Pepper Dipping Sauce on the side.
