Print Recipe

Ingredients

1 pint shucked oysters, standard or select

Bisquick (or similar baking mix)

Oil for deep frying

Directions

Drain oysters and pat dry. Roll in baking mix.
Deep fry in preheated 375-degree oil until golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels and serve.

SEA FACT Many bivalves possess nacre, or mother-of-pearl, and can create pearls if an irritant such as a grain of sand gets inside their shell. Our native Eastern oyster (Crassotrea virginica) creates small, chalky pearls without nacre and have no value.
