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 made a Breakfast Sandwich. I heated up an al fresco Turkey Sausage Patty, a 1/2 slice of Boar's Head Vermont Yellow Cheddar, and served on a toasted Thomas Light 100% Multi Grain English Muffin. Also had my morning cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. The Phantom Pains finally stopped late yesterday. That's one one of the longest time that it has lasted. I got plenty of sleep last night! Partly sunny and and 45 degrees out today. Did a few things around the house then watched some College Football. Later in the day I drove to the airport and picked my cousin up who came into town. So for Dinner tonight I prepared Fried Oysters w/ Baked Potato and Texas Toast (Lite).



It had been a while since I had fried up some Oysters and they sure sounded good for Dinner tonight! 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 Fried Oysters I had a baked Potato. Seasoned that with the McCormick

Grinder Sea Salt and Peppercorn Medley, and topped with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter and a dab of Daisy Light Sour Cream.












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.
