Fried Oysters w/ Baked Potato and Texas Toast (Lite)

Dinner Tonight: Fried Oysters w/ Baked Potato and Texas Toast (Lite)





For Breakfast this morning I prepared some 2 Johnsonville Turkey Breakfast Sausage Links, toasted

a slice of Aunt Millie’s Light Whole Grain Bread that I topped with Smucker's Sugar Free Blackberry Jam, and had my morning cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Hot and Humid out there today, 95 degrees for a high. After Breakfast I took Mom's car and had it washed for her and stopped by McDonald's and picked up Breakfast for her. Back home I got the leaf blower out and cleaned the deck and driveway areas off. Also I got the cart out and took a spin around the neighborhood before the heat and humidity set in. I pulled my first Green Sweet Peppers from my Pepper Plants. I'm going to have quite a few for just having 2 plants. So for Dinner tonight I prepared Fried Oysters w/ Baked Potato and Texas Toast (Lite).


To prepare my Fried Oysters I’ll need; 1 can Hilton’s Fresh Farm Raised Pacific Willapoint Oysters, 1 tablespoon Flour, 1/4 cup Egg Beaters, 1 cup Shake and Bake Seasoned Panko Bread Crumbs, Sea Salt and Pepper (to taste), 2 to 3 tablespoons Extra Light Olive Oil. Hot sauce, Seafood Cocktail Sauce are all optional. I love these Hilton’s Fresh Farm Raised Pacific Willapoint Oysters. They taste so fresh!








I used Hilton’s Fresh Farm Raised Pacific Willapoint Oysters, my favorite. To prepare them; Place shucked oysters in a colander rinse in cold water and drain. Dredge drained oysters in the Flour, then Egg Beater’s, and then in Panko Crumbs seasoned with Sea Salt and Pepper (coating each oyster thoroughly). Set aside to dry at least 1/2 hour. An easy way to coat the oysters with the Panko Crumbs is to place the Crumbs in a resealable plastic bag, add egg-dipped oysters, seal bag, and then shake.






Next, heat the Oil in a frying pan (I like to use my cast-iron frying pan) to 370 degrees F. or until

quite hot. Fry oysters until golden brown on one side, then turn over each oysters carefully to brown the other side, approximately 1 to 2 minutes on each side Fry oyster until golden brown and edges are curled. Do not overcook or overcrowd in frying pan. Remove from frying pan and serve immediately. Serve with Lemons Wedges, Tartar Sauce, Cocktail Sauce and/or your favorite hot sauce. I served mine with some Tarter Sauce with a side of my favorite hot sauce Frank’s Hot Sauce. They’re so delicious, golden brown, and with an incredible fresh flavor.





For one side to go with my Steak Buffalo I had a baked Russet Potato. Seasoned that with the
McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Peppercorn Medley, and topped with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter.












Finally I baked a slice of New York Bakery Light Texas Toast. For Dessert/Snack later a bowl of
Skinny Pop – Pop Corn and a Coke Zero to drink.
