Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2½ Dozen medium-sized oysters; freshly shucked
Vegetable oil for deep frying
2 Eggs
2 tablespoons Water
Horseradish sauce to taste
1½ cup Flour
1½ teaspoon Salt
½ teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
⅛ teaspoon Cayenne

Directions

Drain oysters. Preheat oil in deep fryer to 375ø. Combine eggs, water and horseradish sauce. Combine flour, salt, pepper and cayenne in a bowl and mix thoroughly. Dip oysters in egg mixture, then in seasoned flour to coat.

Place side by side but not touching on a platter and allow to dry for a few minutes. When ready to fry the oysters, dip again in seasoned flour. Fry in batches of 6 to 8 until golden brown (about 3 minutes). Drain oysters by placing on a platter lined with paper towels. Can be set in a 200ø oven until ready to serve. Yield: 4 servings.
