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 French Toast using Aunt Millie's Light Whole Grain Bread. To
top the Toast I used Log Cabin Sugarless Maple Syrup and I Can't Believe It's Not Butter. I also had my morning cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Cloudy and 67 degrees out today. I had 8 bags of Dark Mulch delivered today from the local Boy Scouts. We buy Mulch from them every year. We also purchased a new grill, finally! Our old one conked out early last year and we didn't replace it, till now! Can't wait, it will be here next Thursday. i paid extra to have it assembled and delivered, well worth every cent. It's not a huge one but big enough for just 2 people. I'm ready to Grill! I had Fried Oysters just the other night but they were so good and I had another container left that needed fixed. So for Dinner tonight I prepared Fried Oysters w/ Baked Potato and Texas Toast (Lite).


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.

I had a Baked Potato yesterday and it was so good I'm having one tonight. 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 later a Jello Sugar Free
Dark Chocolate Pudding.
