Equipment

  • deep fry thermometer

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups vegetable oil
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp. whole milk
  • 2 tsp. tabasco sauce
  • ⅔ cups all purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup fine cornmeal
  • ⅛ tsp. black pepper and kosher salt
  • 24 fresh oysters, shucked and drained
  • 4 hoagie rolls, warmed
  • 1 cup shredded romaine lettuce
  • 1 cup sliced plum tomatoes

For the Lemon Aioli:

  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice

Instructions
 

  • Begin by heating the oil in a Dutch oven to 365 degrees.
  • While the oil heats, make the Lemon Aioli: Simply mix all the ingredients together in a bowl and chill until serving.
  • Next, prepare a dredging station: In the first bowl, mix together the egg, milk, and tabasco. In the second bowl, mix together the flour, cornmeal, salt, and pepper.
  • Dip the drained and dried oysters in the milk mixture, and then in the flour mixture. Place the coated oysters on a plate.
  • When the oil has reached 365 degrees, fry six oysters at a time, for about two minutes. Turn the oysters so that they get golden brown all over. Drain the cooked oysters on a wire rack over a pan. Let the oil come up to 365 degrees again, and then fry the next six oysters. Repeat until all the oysters are done.
  • Spread some Lemon Aioli on each roll, and add six oysters and some lettuce and tomato.
