fried oysters
Crispy shelled seafood
Fried oysters are oysters that have been breaded or battered and cooked in hot oil until crispy.
A staple of coastal American cuisine, particularly in the South and New England, they appear as appetizers, in sandwiches, or heaped into po'boys.
The contrast between crunchy exterior and briny, tender interior defines the dish: We ordered a dozen fried oysters with remoulade sauce.
