Instructions
 

  • Heat oil to 360 degrees.
  • In a small bowl, combine buttermilk, egg, and hot sauce. 
  • In a medium bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, and cajun seasoning.
  • Pat oysters dry with a paper towel. Dip oysters in buttermilk mixture, then coat with cornmeal mixture. Drop into oil 6-10 at a time, being careful not to crowd. Give the oil time to heat back up between batches.
  • Let oysters cook 2-3 minutes (depending on size) and pull out when golden brown. Put on paper towels to drain. 
  • Assemble sandwiches with lettuce, tomatoes, oysters, and remoulade sauce. 

Notes

  • Wild caught or farm raised oysters can be used.
  • It is important to not crowd the oysters in the pan when cooking. If necessary, cook them in batches.
  • Allow a few seconds between adding oysters to hot oil to allow time for the oil temperature to recover.
