Popcorn Oysters

Crispy, crunchy, succulent, pop-in-your-mouth Fried Oysters. These are unique with a thicker and crispier, more flavourful batter, resulting in a crunch much like Popcorn Chicken.

1 lb canned oysters
½ cup all-purpose flour, unbleaches
½ cup cornmeal
1 pinch granulated sugar
1 pinch sea salt
1 egg
1 cup Canola oil
2 pinches Old Bay® Seasoning
4 Tbsp. butter, melted

Drain the canned oysters, reserving the liquid in a medium bowl.

Add the flour, cornmeal, sugar and salt.

Beat the egg and stir it into the batter until combined.

In a medium pot, heat Canola oil (as needed) to 350°F (180°C/160°C fan, Gas Mark 4).

Evenly coat the oysters in the batter and fry in batches of 4-6.

Drain the oysters on paper towels.

Sprinkle the oysters with Old Bay® Seasoning while they are warm.

Serve with melted butter.
