Fried Oysters!

Crispy and lightly breaded Fried Oysters served on a white platter.

A Simple Recipe for Fried Oysters!

I love a lot of food, but I have ONE favorite food that I could eat EVERY day, and I would choose over all other foods and snacks. That food would be Fried Oysters!  There is nothing I love more than crispy, lightly salted oysters.

When I was younger my mom used to make fried oysters  once in a blue moon. I remember saying “when I get older, and move out, I’m eating fried oysters EVERYDAY!”. That day eventually came, and when I moved out on my own, my first week in my apartment, I ate oysters every day. I would have eaten them for a longer period, but the store had ran out of them!

All BS a side, I love oysters point blank period. I can eat them raw, smoked, and barbecued. I prefer them deep fried. Below is a super easy recipe for fried oysters. This recipe is fool proof, and you need very few ingredients.

I usually serve my fried oysters with potato salad and greens; however, these fried oysters are great with fries as well!

Golden fried oysters served on a white plate. This recipe is fool-proof and has minimal ingredients.

A tender fried oyster sliced in half alongside whole fried oysters all served on a white platter.
