SERVES 6

1-2 dozen oysters
2 c. All purpose flour
1 T. Kosher salt
1/2 T. Ground black pepper
3 Large eggs
3/4 c. Water
1/2 Gallon frying oil, preferably peanut

…………………………

Shuck and strain oysters and place them on a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb any extra liquid. In a large bowl or pan, stir together flour, salt and pepper. You will want something big enough to get your hands in for tossing. In a separate bowl, make the egg wash by combining eggs and 1/2 cup of water; whisk until completely smooth. Prepare oysters for frying.

Pour oil into either a deep fryer or a 5-quart Dutch oven and heat to 350 degrees F.

Prepare oysters for frying using this process:
-Coat each oyster in flour, then egg wash, then a second coating of flour
-Line a sheet pan with paper towels.
-Carefully place oysters into preheated oil in deep fryer or Dutch oven.
-Cook for 4-5 minutes, until golden brown.
-Remove from oil with a slotted spoon (or fryer basket) and place on prepared sheet pan.
-Sprinkle with salt.

Make sure that oil temperature is at 350 degrees F before continuing with the next batch.

Enjoy immediately.
