Deep Fried Oysters

By Thom7747

Often simple is best and this is a simple recipe that also works for other Shellfish such as Shrimp and Scallops. Donna and I usually just serve these with lemon and skip the tartar sauce or cocktail sauce.

Ingredients

• 2 quarts canola oil for deep frying
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 12 ounces shucked oysters, drained
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup fine soda cracker crumbs
