Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces Fresh oysters
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Cornmeal
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 3 cups Vegetable oil
- 1 large Loaf of French bread (or hoagie rolls)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 cup Remoulade sauce
- 1 cup Shredded lettuce
- 4 pieces Tomato slices
- 0.25 cup Pickles (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the oysters in cold water and gently pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and buttermilk until combined.
Dip each oyster into the flour mixture, then into the buttermilk mixture, and coat again in the flour mixture. Set the breaded oysters aside on a plate.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully fry the breaded oysters in batches, about 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Remove the fried oysters with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Preheat the oven to a low broil setting. Slice the French bread loaf horizontally without cutting all the way through, creating a pocket.
Spread the butter evenly on the insides of the bread and broil for 1–2 minutes until lightly toasted.
Spread remoulade sauce generously inside the toasted bread.
Layer shredded lettuce, tomato slices, and pickles (if using) inside the loaf.
Add the fried oysters to the sandwich, ensuring they're evenly distributed.
Close the sandwich loaf gently, slice into portions, and serve immediately.
