Pan Fried Oysters And Tartar Sauce Recipes

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.

FRIED OYSTERS WITH CREAMY TARTAR SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the oil to 280 degrees.
• Cut the leek into very, very thin matchsticks about three inches long and as thin as possible. In several batches, drop the leek slices into the oil and fry until golden brown, about four to five minutes. The oil should not be too hot or the leeks will fry too quickly and burn. Drain on paper towels and set aside. This can be done up to two hours in advance.
• Open the oysters, reserve the oyster liquor and strain it to remove any portions of shell or sand. Place the liquor in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the oysters, poach them for just 30 seconds and drain, again reserving the liquor. When the oysters and the liquor have cooled, combine them again, to keep the oysters moist and plump. This can be done up to two hours in advance.
• Prepare three plates for coating the oysters: one with the flour, one with the eggs and egg yolks whisked together, and a third with the fresh bread crumbs.
• To prepare the tartar sauce, combine the cornichons, capers, mustard, paprika and parsley. Whip the creme fraiche or heavy cream until stiff. Carefully fold the cornichon mixture into the cream. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
• Heat the oil to 375 degrees.
• Drain the oysters and dredge them, one at a time, in the flour. Dip them into the egg mixture, then dredge them in the bread crumbs. Fry the oysters, three or four at a time, until nicely browned, about one minute. Between batches, check that the oil temperature remains steady.
• To serve, place the oysters on a platter, top with a nest of fried leeks and place a spoonful of tartar sauce alongside.
