Crispy golden fried oysters paired with a tangy homemade tartar sauce make for an irresistible appetizer or main course.

Ingredients

• 1 pint shucked oysters, drained
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• Vegetable oil for frying
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped dill pickles
• 1 tablespoon capers, drained and chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Instructions

1. In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt, pepper, and paprika. In another dish, whisk eggs and milk. Place panko in a third dish.
2. Dredge each oyster in flour mixture, then dip in egg mixture, and coat with panko, pressing gently to adhere.
3. Heat about 1 inch of oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry oysters in batches for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
4. For tartar sauce: mix mayonnaise, pickles, capers, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Serve fried oysters immediately with tartar sauce on the side.

Tips
