Recipe: Crispy Fried Oysters

“Good food is good food. It doesn't have to come with pretense.” - Christina Tosi

Oysters are one of my favorite things to cook and enjoy. Fried oysters are something I truly love sharing with my family, and it’s always a treat when I’m able to prepare them.

This fried oyster recipe is super easy. It will pair perfectly with a light arugula salad dressed simply in olive oil and lemon juice, complimented with a glass of champagne, of course.

See the recipe below!

What You’ll Need:

  • a dozen shucked oysters

  • 1 cup all purpose flour

  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning

  • a few shakes of cracked black pepper

  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper

  • a pinch of sea salt

  • canola oil

Directions:

STEP 1: Carefully rinse off your oysters under cool water. You’ll want to ensure you remove any shell particles.

Pro Tip: Ask your local seafood spot if they have a jar of oysters that are already shucked, if you are unable to safely shuck your own.

STEP 2: Combine your flour and all seasonings into a mixing bowl. Also, begin heating up your cooking vessel with canola oil, ideally you’ll want the temperature to reach 370 degrees fahrenheit.

STEP 3: Lightly toss oysters into the seasoned flour mixture, and ensure each piece is coated evenly.

STEP 4: Once the oil is hot, begin adding in each oyster. It’ll take about 6-8 minutes, for the oysters to cook.

Pro Tip: As soon as you notice your oysters getting golden brown, remove them from the vessel immediately.

STEP 5: After the oysters are finished cooking remove them from the fryer, and drain them on a stack of paper towels.

STEP 6: Finally, once the oysters have finished cooling, serve, and enjoy!

These oysters are perfect to throw on a po’boy, pair with a salad, or ideal as an appetizer to share!

Cork & Fork: Smoked Meats + Fried Oysters Wine Pairings

“Drinking good wine with good food in good company is one of life's most civilized pleasures.” - Michael Broadbent

One of my favorite things to do is pairing a delicious dish with an amazing bottle of wine.

This past Christmas I gifted my husband a smoker, and he has literally perfected the art of smoking amazing proteins. Also, one of my preferred seafoods to enjoy are oysters, especially when they are flash fried.

Today, I’m sharing some of my ideal food and wine pairings with meals that we have curated at home.

Smoked Chicken

Chicken is a protein we smoke and/or grill almost weekly. It is such a versatile protein, and you can add it to salads, sandwiches, nachos, tacos, or enjoy it by itself with a wide variety of sides.

This spicy smoked chicken is so delicious, and is layered with a variety of seasonings that pair perfectly with a velvet bordeaux style wine. The Octagon produced by Barboursville Vineyards is a winner for this dish. It is so smooth, and is such a unique blend of varietals Merlot 50%, Cabernet Franc 20%, Petit Verdot 30%. It is so well balanced, with notes of dark chocolate, coffee, baked berries, and a bit of oak. This wine is dry, but the finish has a nice smooth velvet texture.

Smoked Duck

When duck is smoked, it brings out some amazing flavors of the protein, and is tender and juicy. Also, the port cherry reduction is a great addition, the perfect compliment to the meat.

The wine I paired with this dish is a Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. It is soft, has an amazing body to it, and is fruit forward, while having a great texture and balance. This wine has notes of black fruit immediately on the nose, and cherry on mid-palate. The tannins on this wine are present, but not overwhelming, which is ideal with smoked duck.

Fried Oysters

Oysters are something that I enjoy so much! Whenever I’m able to indulge in them, champagne is the obvious choice to pair with this dish.

The fried oysters are seasoned with lemon, pepper, sea salt, black pepper, a dash of cayenne, and a dusting of grated parmesan - which gives the protein a great balance of spice and citrus.

A champagne that is 100% Meunier is a lovely pair with oysters. Champagne Salmon was a great choice for me to accompany this dish, as it provides the right balance of acidity to the oysters.

Fried oysters paired with a pair of grilled rosemary crostini, and garlic herb aioli.
