Ingredients

36 -48 medium oysters, shucked
peanuts (for frying) or canola oil (for frying)
1 1/2 cups cracker meal
4 1/2 cups flour
kosher salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 top-opening hot dog buns
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1/4 cup roughly chopped capers
1/4 cup chopped cornichon, plus 2 tablespoons of the juice
3 cups hellmann mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

For tartar sauce: In a large bowl, mix the ingredients thoroughly.
Refrigerate.
Makes about 4 1/2 cups- more than you will need.
Oysters: In a deep saucepan or pot, heat the oil (3 inches deep) to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Mix the cracker meal and flour in a large dish.
Drain the oysters in a strainer and drop them into the cracker meal mixture one by one, keeping them separated.
Coat each oyster well, then shake off the excess.
Drop each oyster gently into the hot oil and fry until they are golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes.
It's important not to overfry them.
Drain them on paper towels and sprinkle with kosher salt.
Meanwhile in a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter.
Place rolls in the skillet on their sides.
Cook until browned, turn and cook other side.
Spread tartar sauce inside each roll, place oysters in roll and serve immediately.
