Blackened Fried Oysters With Lemon Cocktail Sauce image

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.
