Thank you for your yummy 😋 Oyster recipe

[@suzanneschristie]

Best, by far, fried oysters I've eaten! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. Except, I did not have bread flour so I used all purpose Einkorn flour and fried in avocado oil but they came out so crispy and delicate. I guess the secrete was the baking powder! Great tip!

Hi Suzanne, thanks for letting me know how your oysters turned out. Yes, all purpose flour will work just fine, and avocado is a great choice in oil, thanks for your comment and for watching. The BEC

[@shelleybrandon2825]

I followed this recipe last year (taste tested a few to find the best and this is exactly like the fried oysters I would find in New England) Had to rewatch and write notes for this year (my recurring mistake was to take basket out and load oysters...DOH! So glad you mention to leave it in the hot oil and plunk the oysters in so they don't stick!!)...still the best fried oyster recipe out there and so easy! Thank YOU!!!

[@bradcordrey4727]

When I fry oysters I put them on a bath towel as soon as they come out I take and put the oysters in the towel and press down on the towel. I probably get a couple tablespoons of oil off the oysters. Now no big deal you eat oysters six times a year but I eat them 3 to 4 nights a week. It's more trouble and most people won't do this method. I do the same with fried soft crab. Because I live on the water and all I eat is seafood. Sometimes I put them in a toaster oven. You can even put them in the towel and put weight on the towels. I want the grease off the oysters.

[@sb.1035]

i must have used a whole roll of paper towels to take off the grease lol. taking off the moisture before frying is important too. your batter, if any is better after frying. oh and watch ur cholesterol buddy. its so delicious but deadly too :)

[@bradcordrey4727]

Sherry Braz do it with a bath towel. Or you know those cheap towels you get a dollar general. but you just kind of press down once they are fried the grease is not good

[@thebigeasychef]

+bob bot Hi Bob, thank you for your comment, and you are right, frying is just one way to cook sea food, there is nothing better then a good cioppino or some broiled fish, and grilled is great. Check out my Broiled Salmon with a creamy dill sauce kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJ6mpYdjoNR4laM I have a lot of seafood recipes and not all of them are fried, it just takes time to get them all shot and edited so keep watching for those future videos, thanks again.

[@bobbot2881]

thebigeasychef the thing is if you put shit in the oven you can just set the timer and go do shit and if you put stuff in a pot you can put it on simmer. My mother fried fish and muskrat the other day and it took 45 minutes to clean up.Grease was all over the place.

[@Austin-cf2kx]

Why don't you season the flour mix

[@thebigeasychef]

Hi Preston, great question, I seasoned the oysters before adding any flour to the oysters, I just forgot to show it or mention it in the video, (I guess it is a case of old age). I think it is better to add the seasoning directly to the oysters for better flavor, I added salt and black ground pepper, you can add any other seasoning you may like. Thanks for your question and watching. The BEC

[@Austin-cf2kx]

thebigeasychef you haven't posted in a while

[@thebigeasychef]

Hi Preston, I had some setbacks, new videos coming next week, stand by. The BEC

[@xJohnny_Ax]

thebigeasychef I’ve grown up with the same techniques (which I’m sure you’re trying to teach in the video). I’m Maryland raised and we have a crazy oyster base here bc of the great Chesapeake Bay, we throw in Old Bay into that flower base! I’m not sure where you’re from, but that’s how we do it!

[@rozozzy]

these are my fav!! why not the whole egg?? enquiring minds want to know!!lol please and thank you!!

[@thebigeasychef]

Hi Rozozzy, To answer your question, I don't use the egg yolk, as I think just using the egg white make the breading more crispy. Think about it, when you fry egg the white gets nice and fluffy, and the yolk not so much. There is nothing wrong with using the whole egg, either way you are going to have some great oysters. Thank your for your question and for watching. The BEC

[@rozozzy]

Thank you for your prompt response. I usually add cornstarch in the breading for extra crunch in everything I fry...which isn't much!!lol your explanation makes sense and I will try whites only. any help w/frying is appreciated. You are too kind...

[@thebigeasychef]

Hi Rozozzy, You are more then welcome, yes cornstarch helps make fried food more crunchy, and let me know if you like the egg white way better. Thanks again for your comment and for watching. The BEC

[@KelliM]

I love oysters!! I usually fry them with a whole beaten egg, but I'm going to try the egg white mixture tonight instead. Great demo. Also, what did you season them with? I've tried the chesapeake seasoning, but usually opt for salt and pepper instead. Do you have any more suggestions such as a mix to make?

[@thebigeasychef]

Hi Kelli, good luck with the egg white, I think this is the best way to make them, if they don't turn out dark enough for you, try adding a couple of egg yolks, this will make them a darker brown, and still keep them from soaking up to much oil. I like to use just salt and pepper, then I dip them in tartar sauce (I have a recipe for some really great tartar sauce here is the link, kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3O6dWNmepp_hdU), with a little lemon and hot sauce on them. Let me know how they turn out for you, thanks for you comment. The BEC

[@khwarezmia]

What's the best way to keep oysters fresh?

[@thebigeasychef]

Hi Billy, thanks for your question, the best way to keep oysters fresh buy them right before you are going to cook them, and always keep them refrigerated. Thank you for watching. The BEC

[@rubyslippers1129]

Mr. TheBigeasychef, Tonight I will be trying this recipe. What other things can I use in this dreaging?

[@thebigeasychef]

Hi Ruby, you can add seasoning to the flour or you could use bread crumbs in place of the flour, or cracker crumbs, or even panko bread crumbs, also you could use cron flour, just be sure to coat them with flour, then in the egg, and use the breading of your choice. Let me know how they turn out, thanks for watching and your comment. The BEC

[@casey6518]

Hey BigEasy, you know I will comment, you could have used a tad more oil in your fryer so the whole oyster would have been submerged. Fried oysters are one my favorite seafood items, I usually just pan fry instead of my deep fryer bc of cleanup for oysters with flour. I soak my oysters in buttermilk, then flour, then dip into the buttermilk and flour again, then fry, makes an real crispy coating, that's almost the best part like fried chicken, gotta love the crispy crust. Imagine if I made a beer batter & dip the oysters in flour, then the beer batter, the deep fryer would be the perfect choice. Maybe you will do some seafood with a beer batter and your deep fryer. your friend, Casey

[@thebigeasychef]

Hi Casey, I will be doing some beer batter fried foods in the very near future. Thanks for asking your friend The BEC

[@edhunley]

These look so good. Unfortunately, here in Tennessee the words "fresh" and "oysters" just don't seem to go together. I will have to use oysters from a can, but that's all I can get. I will be doing these for sure.

[@thebigeasychef]

HI Edhuntley, I understand your problem with getting fresh oysters, do you have a Sam's Club or Costco near by, as sometimes they have good fresh oysters. If you are stuck with canned ones, then this recipe will be great for them. Let me know how they turn out, good luck. The BEC

I've tried to get the super large Oysters in the shell but, they seem to be very seasonal. I purchased fresh in the seal pack can and they are always nice and plump (just like me).So please tell me a good tip to tell my local fish monger here in Long Island Thank you again may GOD BLESS YOU always Bill Petillo-Oyster lover

[@thebigeasychef]

+william petillo Hi Bill, you are not a pest, I don't mind helping people with cooking. You could ask your fish monger, if they could get fresh oysters in a jar, these are the best for frying, maybe they could special order them for you. I am lucky as I live close enough the coast where there are oyster beds, so getting oysters has never been a problem for me. The only oysters I have seen in a can were very small, I think they would be best for oyster stew, and not frying. You could also ask your fish monger why the oysters in the shell are not available all of the time. I think the large fresh oysters in hte shell are best barbeuced. I hope this has helped somewhat, good luck to you, The BEC

extra crispy is battered flour, egg white, flour..original is battered egg white , flour

[@thebigeasychef]

Hi nw5052001, if I am understand you correct you need to flour the oysters before the egg dip, as this allows the egg to stick to the oysters, and dip in flour again. If you fry the oysters a little longer they will become extra crispy, be careful to not overcook the oysters, or they will be tough and chewy. Thanks for your question, and for watching. The BEC

[@schlaznger8049]

ok you got me sir. I meant no disrespect but Lard is a light flavored grease that works well with all types of fish including Oysters. I just can see spending 20 bucks for a premium oil that I am going to use once and throw away. Sometimes the old ways are the best ways.

[@thebigeasychef]

+schlaznger Hi Schlaznger, I understand what you are saying, and just food for thought, where I live I can get a gallon of canola oil at Costco for around 8 dollars, and then it can be filtered and used again, but you are correct about how well lard works for frying fish, and other foods, it is good for sure. Thanks for you comments, and no disrespect taking. The BEC

[@Species710]

I think it would have been more helpful if you had started with shelling the oysters and it seems you then put them in a glass jar until the flour and egg were prepped. Why? Why not just a bowl or leave them in the sieve? But a thumbs up. Thank you for the video. I wish I could get oysters where I live, but sadly, can not.

[@thebigeasychef]

Hi Species, thank you for your question, I bought the oysters already shucked, and they come that way in the jar. I like to leave them in there juice, it helps make the flour stick better to the oyster, also the juice adds flavor. If you look online there are places that will ship them fresh, they cost a lot, but for a true oyster lover they are well worth the money. Thanks for your comment and for watching, be safe out there.

+I TESTIFY THERE IS NO GOD BUT ALLAH Hi, most of the time the store has them all ready shucked, and sell them in jars, you may want to check or see if they will shuck them for you. Thanks for your question and good luck. The BEC

[@nisamarie1723]

Looks good just needs some seasoning.

[@thebigeasychef]

Hi Nasa Marie, thanks for your comment and you are correct, I did put some seasoning on them, however I forgot to shoot that part, dumb me. If you try the recipe, add the seasoning right before you coat them, this way it will stay stuck on the oysters. Again thanks for your comment and for watching. Happy holidays, and be safe out there.

Egg whites are only "fluffy" if you beat them to entrain air.

[@thebigeasychef]

Hi Rick, yes egg whites do get fluffy if you beat air into them, but also try this, fry an egg, and see what part of the egg gets fluffy and light and what part of the egg stays dense and heavy? Thanks for your comment and for watching, The BEC

[@CaptDavesSportfishing]

sprinkle some Tony Chashere's creole seasoning on them when hot.....

[@thebigeasychef]

Capt Dave, a perfect idea. Thanks for watching and your comment. The BEC

I live in Oklahoma either you get them out of a can or they're going to be old either way lol

[@thebigeasychef]

Hi Jim, I guess you can try frying them, I would drain them well first, I understand you don't want an old fresh oyster for sure. Thanks for you comment and for watching. The BEC

[@thebigeasychef]

Hi Jim, I was thinking about you not being able to get fresh oysters, I would hate living somewhere I couldn't get fresh oysters, so here is the deal, if you want I will send you a jar of fresh oysters, just send me your address, use my email [e-mail], and a jar of oysters is on me no strings attached. Thanks for being a fan, The BEC

[@andyfletcher3561]

Getting good fish here in Oklahoma is a huge challenge. I rarely even see oysters. One of the few things I miss about California...

Awesome recipe. In Japan, they shower before they bathe. They might be onto something.

[@thebigeasychef]

Hi Rocinante, thanks for your comment and the information about Japan, something I didn't know. Thanks for watching, and be safe out there. The BEC

[@jam12588]

The best fried oysters require no seasoning as you want the flavor of the oyster to come through without being covered up with different spices.

[@thebigeasychef]

Hi Jam, you make an interesting point, a good oyster has a great flavor, so you for sure don't want to lose that flavor. Thanks for your comment and for watching. The BEC

[@moniquepalmer9333]

WE ARE IN THE SOUTH, SEASON EVERYTHING!!!!!!

[@thebigeasychef]

Hi Monique, yes you can season the oyster with any seasoning that you may enjoy on oyster, I would recommend seasoning the oysters before adding any flour to them, thanks for you comment and for watching.

[@acts238isthetruth]

I like this recipe it’s really good but you could do with half as many ingredients. Unless you’re a fn Restaurant. If you’re just trying to cook a couple dozen oysters or a couple jars of oysters just use half. 2 cups of flour is more then enough and it doesn’t have to be bread flour either! I would recommend wheat flour gut that’s all a preference. Other than that that just use the whole egg egg and the whites, please don’t waste, it’s not necessary trust me I’ve been using this recipe for over a year now, in all different forms of it, nobody is ever going to sit there and be like oh MG you didn’t separate the whites from the eggs! These are not cooked correctly, because you used eggs and not only the egg whites! Unless you’re Gordon FN Ramsey, know one Will everI know or think any different Except that half a dozen eggs didn’t go down the sink to make this recipe!!!

[@thebigeasychef]

Hi YoMoma, Thanks for your comment, and you made some valid points. I like just the egg whites as they make the oysters nice and crispy, and The yolks don't go to waste, they are used in other recipes, or fed to my dog. Yes you are correct I used a lot of flour, however behind the scenes, I cooked more oyster for an oyster feed I was having after the video was shot. Thanks again, for your comment and for watching. The BEC

[@chocolatemounds7758]

OH HELL NO! THIS IS NOT HOW TO FRY OYSTERS, THIS MAN USED ZERO SEASONING IN THE BATTER! WHERE IS THE PEPPER? ONION POWDER, GARLIC POWDER, SEASONING SALT?? 👎 nope just no!

[@thebigeasychef]

Hi Chocolate, I have had other comments dealing with the spices or lack of spices, I did add salt and pepper before I put the oysters in any flour, I had forgot to video this step, and even worse I didn't mention it in the video, I know I am bad. You can add any spices that you feel would make the oyster taste even better, you could add "Old Bay", onion powder, garlic powder, etc. I love oysters after they are fried with some lemon, and Crystal Hot Sauce, but everyone to their own taste. Thank you for watching and for your comment. The BEC

[@JohnMiller-qt5yc]

These are the only simplest way of making the oysters to deep frying. But if you would like to add your own seasoning that would give your taste satisfying just go on right? This is what I am going to do now add a spicy things..and mmmmmmm..... so lovely taste yummmmy!!!! Thanks to you chef you gave me an idea how to cook the best for oysters love it!,,

[@tommywright8369]

Dude! You gotta take a bite then show it again! Comon!!!

Hi Tommy, you are going to have to trust me, I ate all of the oysters, they are one of my many favorite foods, thanks for your comment and for watching. The BEC

[@barnettstrongmanjnes5023]

I deep fry my oysters and when I take them out I immediately dip them in water for about a second to get the excess grease off ,but you can't do it if you put batter on them. So no batter on oysters but you get used to it. You got to use hotter oil, but do try no batter and dipping them in water for about a second.

[@thebigeasychef]

Hi Barnettstrongman, I have never heard of frying oysters that way, are you trying to avoid carbs or gluten? This sounds interesting to say the least. Thanks for your comment and for watching. The BEC

use a plain table cloth - less bandwidth and latency...
