PANKO FRIED OYSTERS FOR TWO
After eating the "World's Best" Fried Oysters at The Old Post Office Restaurant at Edisto, SC, I wanted to duplicate them. This comes mighty close! I believe the double breading and Panko bread crumbs are the secret to these light and crispy oysters. If served as appetizers, they will disappear faster than free money so double or triple the recipe! The Hot Sauce is a modified version of Secret's Recipe #50051 and the perfect complement to these Oysters.

Steps:
- HOT SAUCE: Mix all ingredients together.
- To allow flavors to blend, refrigerate several hours.
- Hot Sauce will keep several days in the refrigerator.
- Be sure to cover it tightly.
- Line colander with two layers of paper towel.
- Rinse oysters, drain and put in colander, patting to dry.
- EGG DIP: In small bowl, add egg and milk; whisk to blend well.
- If using only egg whites, do not whisk enough to be dry/frothy.
- FLOUR COATING: Put all ingredients in small plastic bag and shake to mix well.
- PANKO COATING: in a small bowl, add ingredients and mix well.
- TO BREAD OYSTERS: Step 1: Dip 2 or 3 oysters in Egg Dip, letting any excess drain off.
- Step 2: Place them in Flour Coating, shaking to completely coat oysters.
- Remove from Flour Mixture.
- Step 3: Repeat step 1.
- Step 4: Place them in Panko Coating bowl.
- Roll them over and get them completely coated with bread crumbs.
- With tongs, gently remove them from breadcrumbs and place in a single layer on a baking tray lined with plastic wrap.
- Repeat Steps 1-4 until all oysters are breaded.
- Cover breaded oysters with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours or more.
- This breading can be done up to 8 hours ahead.
- TO FRY OYSTERS: Heat frying oil in deep pan to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- With tongs, gently remove oysters from baking sheet and gently drop them into the hot oil.
- Fry the oysters in small (6-8 oysters each) batches to keep from lowering the temperature of the oil too much.
- Fry about 2 minutes or until golden brown on one side, turn and brown other side (about 1-2 minutes).
- Remove from oil and drain on layers of paper towels.
- NOTE: After cooking one batch of oysters, let the temperature of the oil return to about 375, before cooking the next batch.
- If the oil temperature is not hot enough before adding the oysters, they will taste greasy, rather than light.
- Serve immediately with Hot Sauce.
FRIED OYSTERS
Steps:
- For the Tartar Sauce: Combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer to 350°F, in a deep cast iron skillet, or in a Dutch oven over medium heat to a depth of about 2-3 inches, until it reaches 350°F. If you don't have a deep-fry thermometer, sprinkle a few drops of water on the hot oil. If it sizzles, the oil is hot enough.
- Drain the oysters in a colander and pat dry with paper towels. Use a toothpick to poke a small hole in the large round part of each oyster.
- Put the buttermilk in a shallow dish. In a separate shallow dish, combine the cornmeal, flour, salt, Old Bay seasoning and pepper.
- Add the oysters to the buttermilk and soak for a few minutes. Remove the oysters from the buttermilk, gently shake off excess liquid, and dredge in cornmeal mixture to coat on all sides. Shake off excess breading and transfer to a wire rack.
- Working in batches so that you don't overcrowd the pan, fry oysters until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Drain on paper towels, season with additional salt and pepper (if necessary) while they're still warm, and serve hot with tartar sauce or other dipping sauce.

BLACKENED FRIED OYSTERS WITH LEMON COCKTAIL SAUCE
The secret is to use the freshest oyster you can find. These are pan fried, not sauted. Use plenty of oil and keep it hot to keep them crispy on the outside and plump and juicy on the inside. Using a cast iron skillet is best. Servings depend of use...main dish or appetizer.

FRIED OYSTERS WITH TARTAR SAUCE
Getting fried oysters from your summer seafood shack is fun, but making them yourself yields something crispy, light and, most significantly, tender. Shuck carefully, bread delicately and fry to golden perfection, then serve with this bright, lively tartar sauce, which gets its spark from cornichons, capers and lemon juice. Eat while hot - whether you're wearing flip flops or polished oxfords, that's up to you.

Steps:
- Prepare the oysters: Season flour with salt and pepper. Dredge each oyster in the flour, then dip in the beaten egg, then coat evenly in the panko.
- Set breaded oysters on a baking cooling rack, leaving a little room between the oysters so they can dry and set. Refrigerate until ready to fry and serve.
- Make the sauce: Finely mince garlic with a pinch of salt until sticky and pasty. Mince shallots, cornichons and capers as finely as possible. Add all to a small bowl. Stir in mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, caper brine and cornichon vinegar, and stir well. Add chopped parsley, stir well and season to taste with salt. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Fry the oysters: Melt enough shortening in a deep medium skillet (we love cast iron) over medium for 1 1/2 inches of liquified fat once hot. Increase heat to medium-high. It's ready to fry in when a few crumbs of panko or the tip of a wooden chopstick sizzles actively in the fat.
- Add the oysters cold from the refrigerator, working in batches of 6 to 8 or as you have room. Fry, making sure to turn them to get both sides, until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes, depending on size. Remove with a slotted spoon or spider, and let rest on a clean rack while you fry the rest. Season each batch with a little salt while still piping hot, as soon as you pull them from the fat. Serve with tartar sauce.
