Directions 4 steps
- 1
Place frozen oysters in a colander, set over a bowl of water, and run a gentle stream of water over them for until half-thawed. Do not fully thaw, as this releases too much moisture.
- 2
Sprinkle lightly with salt and gently massage to clean. Rinse briefly with water. Pat thoroughly dry with paper towels — this step is the key to a crispy finish.
- 3
Lightly coat with flour, dip in beaten egg, then press panko breadcrumbs firmly onto the surface.
- 4
Heat oil to 170-180°C (340-360°F). Fry the oysters for until golden brown. Remove and drain on a wire rack.
Tap a step to mark it done. Times in orange start a timer.
Notes
Half-thawing under running water is key. Fully thawing releases too much moisture and results in a soggy finish. Thoroughly drying the oysters ensures a crispy crust.
