FRIED OYSTERS WITH TARTAR SAUCE

Steps:

• Prepare the oysters: Season flour with salt and pepper. Dredge each oyster in the flour, then dip in the beaten egg, then coat evenly in the panko.
• Set breaded oysters on a baking cooling rack, leaving a little room between the oysters so they can dry and set. Refrigerate until ready to fry and serve.
• Make the sauce: Finely mince garlic with a pinch of salt until sticky and pasty. Mince shallots, cornichons and capers as finely as possible. Add all to a small bowl. Stir in mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, caper brine and cornichon vinegar, and stir well. Add chopped parsley, stir well and season to taste with salt. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Fry the oysters: Melt enough shortening in a deep medium skillet (we love cast iron) over medium for 1 1/2 inches of liquified fat once hot. Increase heat to medium-high. It's ready to fry in when a few crumbs of panko or the tip of a wooden chopstick sizzles actively in the fat.
• Add the oysters cold from the refrigerator, working in batches of 6 to 8 or as you have room. Fry, making sure to turn them to get both sides, until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes, depending on size. Remove with a slotted spoon or spider, and let rest on a clean rack while you fry the rest. Season each batch with a little salt while still piping hot, as soon as you pull them from the fat. Serve with tartar sauce.

FRIED OYSTERS

Steps:

• Drain the oysters. Spread the cornmeal evenly on a paper towel. Add the salt, pepper and cayenne to taste. Dredge the oysters one at a time, placing each dredged oyster in a colander. Shake off the excess cornmeal.
• Heat oil in a cast-iron skillet or other deep skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350 degrees. You can also check by sprinkling some of the cornmeal in the pan and seeing if it spins and dances in the oil.
• Meanwhile, mix the mayonnaise, chives and lemon juice until smooth in a small bowl. Arrange the lettuce ''canoes'' on a large serving platter and top each with a dollop of chive mayonnaise. Set aside in the refrigerator.
• Test the oil by gently dropping (or lower in with a slotted spoon) an oyster into it. If it bubbles and rises to the top, add 3 or 4 more oysters. If not, remove the oyster, wait and try again. If you add too many oysters at once, you will lower the temperature of the oil, and the oysters will neither brown nor become crisp. Remove the light brown oysters with a slotted spoon or tongs to paper towels to drain.
• To serve, arrange a fried oyster on top of mayonnaise on the Romaine canoes. Serve immediately.
