Fried Oysters

Ingredients

Directions

The book gives no cooking times; the times in the steps were added in transcription, so check for doneness rather than trusting the clock.

  1. Remove gills from oysters.

  2. Rinse oysters and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.

  3. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.

  4. Fry oysters until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  5. Drain on paper towels before serving.

Transcribed from a scanned cookbook and modernised for today's kitchens. Where the book gave no heat or time, or said "a moderate oven", the temperatures and times here may be modern equivalents rather than the book's own figures.
