Ingredients

  • 32 ounces shucked oysters
  • 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cornmeal (recommended: Indian Head)
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Kosher salt
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 4 (6-inch) hoagie loaves
  • Remoulade Sauce, recipe follows
  • 4 leaves romaine lettuce
  • 1 to 2 lemons
  • Special equipment: brown paper bag

Directions

Drain the oysters and place in a small bowl. Cover with 1 cup milk and let soak for 15 minutes. In a medium bowl, whisk together remaining milk, water, cayenne and eggs. Place the flour, cornmeal, black pepper, and salt into a brown paper bag, close and shake to mix.

In a large heavy-bottomed pot, pour enough oil to fill the pan halfway. Heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 360 degrees F.

Drain the oysters from the milk. In batches dip oysters in the egg mixture then drop in the paper bag. Close and shake. Remove to a plate and repeat with the rest of the oysters. When oil is at 360 degrees F, fry oysters in batches. Do not overcrowd. Cook turning once until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes. Remove to a paper towel. Repeat with remaining oysters.

To serve, cut sandwich loaves in half horizontally. Slather a generous amount of Spicy Remoulade Sauce on the inside. Place a lettuce leaf inside and fill generously with oysters. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over oysters just before serving.

Spicy Remoulade Sauce:

  • 1 1/4 cups mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup stone-ground mustard
  • 1 clove garlic clove, smashed
  • 1 tablespoon pickle juice
  • 1 tablespoon capers
  • 1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon hot paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce (recommended: Frank's Red Hot)
  • Special equipment: a food processor

Place all ingredients into a food processor and blend until smooth. Chill until ready to serve.

Yield: 1 1/2 cups

    Sunny, you rarely disappoint, and this one you absolutely knocked out of the park. Oysters went on sale after Thanksgiving, so it was a perfect chance to try this out. Wonderful breading and the remoulade is delightful. We made sandwiches, but also at just as many simply dipped in the remoulade. Thanks.

    I don't eat bread, so I just made the fried oysters and the sauce, and it tasted great. Good batter - I like the idea of cornmeal. I didn't have all the ingredients, so I left out the pickle juice, capers, and just used normal paprika, and was lazy and just whisked it together instead of using a food processor, and it turned out fine. The wife and I had fun shaking the oysters in the brown bag.

    Used this recipe with shrimp also the sandwiches were awesome. I varied it a liitle by shredding cabbage and using the roumalade as a dressing instead of a spread. Then placed the cabbage in the sandwich with the shrimp.
