Love Bites Fried Oysters Recipes

LOVE BITES (FRIED OYSTERS)

Steps:

• Crack open the oysters, reserve the meat and rinse and dry the shells.
• Heat some oil in a saucepan to 350 degrees F.
• Toss the oysters in the flour and remove. Make a batter with buttermilk and the flour. Batter the oysters and fry them until golden. Drain on paper towels.
• Make the chipotle mayo by blending the chipotle with the mayo until you have a sauce that's just a little spicy.
• To serve, arrange a little mayo in a shell and top with 1 fried oyster, a little uni, a little pickle, then top with a couple of pomegranate seeds, a drop of two of lemon juice and serve.

FRIED OYSTERS

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the buttermilk with 1 tablespoon of the Essence. Add the oysters and marinate for 20 minutes.
• Combine the masa harina and flour with the remaining Essence in a shallow dish.
• In a deep-fryer or a medium, heavy pot with high sides, heat the oil to 360 degrees F.
• Dredge the oysters in the flour mixture and shake the pieces in a strainer to remove any excess. Carefully add to the hot oil in batches, and cook, turning occasionally, until golden on all sides, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the oysters with a slotted spoon, drain on paper towels, and serve immediately.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly.
