Fried Oyster Po' Boy Sandwich
Ingredients:
For the Oysters:
- 2 pints fresh oysters, drained
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Vegetable oil, for frying
For the Sandwiches:
- 4 French rolls or hoagie buns, sliced lengthwise
- 4–6 lettuce leaves
- 2 tomatoes, sliced
- 1/2 cup pickles, sliced
- Remoulade sauce (recipe below)
Instructions:
- Prep the Oysters: Rinse the oysters under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Soak the oysters in buttermilk for 10 minutes to tenderize and enhance flavor.
- Prepare the Coating: In a shallow dish, combine the cornmeal, flour, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cayenne (if using), salt, and pepper.
- Fry the Oysters: Heat 2–3 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C). Remove the oysters from the buttermilk, allowing the excess to drip off. Coat each oyster in the cornmeal mixture, pressing lightly to adhere. Fry the oysters in batches for 2–3 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread remoulade sauce on the inside of the rolls. Layer lettuce, tomato slices, pickles, and a generous amount of fried oysters.
- Serve: Serve immediately with extra sauce on the side and chips or coleslaw.
