Ingredients

Spicy Remoulade Sauce:

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup stone-ground mustard
  • 1 clove garlic smashed
  • 1 tbsp pickle juice
  • 1 tbsp capers
  • 1 tsp horseradish
  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
  • ¼ tsp hot paprika
  • ½ tsp hot sauce

Instructions

  • To make the spicy remoulade sauce, place all ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth. Chill in refrigerator until ready to use.
  • Drain oysters and place in small bowl. Cover with 1 cup milk and let soak 15 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, whish together remaining milk, water, cayenne pepper, and eggs.
  • Place flour, cornmeal, black pepper, and salt into brown paper bag; close & shake to mix.
  • In a large, heavy pan, pour enough oil to fill the pan halfway. Heat until oil reaches 360℉.
  • Drain oysters from the milk.
  • In batches, dip oysters in the egg mixture, then drop in the paper bag. Close & shake. Remove to a plate and repeat with the rets of the oysters.
  • Fry oysters in batches—do not overcrowd. Cook, turning once, until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes. Remove to paper towel. Repeat with remaining oysters.
  • Serve with remoulade sauce on buns with lettuce. Squeeze lemon juice over oysters before serving.
