Fried Oysters

  • 2 dozen oysters
  • 2 eggs
  • Fine bread crumbs
  • Seasoning
Wipe each oyster dry. Sprinkle with salt. Beat the eggs just enough to mix the yolks and whites. Dip in the oysters so as to coat all parts with the egg. Lift them gently. Let any excess of egg drip away. Drop each oyster into the crumbs, which should be spread on a paper or plate- preferably the former, as they will be easier to handle. When coated with crumbs, shake gently to remove any that may be loose. Set aside until all are done. Fry rich golden brown in smoking hot fat.

Always use bread crumbs for frying in preference to cracker crumbs. The latter absorb grease while the bread crumbs throw it off.
