Oysters in a jar can be found in many grocery stores year round.
Serve these with mashed potatoes or grilled polenta slices for change of pace.
Ingredients
12 ounces (340g) oysters, usually two 6-ounce jars
1/2 cup (55g) flour
1/2 cup (75g) cornmeal
1/2 tsp (3g) salt
1/2 tsp (2g) pepper
3 tsp (15mL) vegetable oil, divided
Directions
Rinse and drain oysters.
Combine flour, cornmeal, salt and pepper in a small dish.
Spray a nonstick skillet with vegetable oil spray, and then place 1 tsp
(5mL) of oil in the pan. Heat pan until very hot.
Dredge oysters, one at a time in flour mixture. Place 4 oysters in hot
pan and fry until brown on one side. Turn and brown the other side. This should take only
about 3 minutes per side. Remove oysters and place on a serving dish.
Heat one more tsp (15mL) of oil in the pan and repeat the process for
another 4 oysters. Repeat for the last batch.
Serve while piping hot.
