Oyster Po' Boys

• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 2 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups yellow cornmeal
• 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
• 3 dozen small oysters, shucked and drained
• 1 quart vegetable oil
• 1 loaf French bread
• 3/4 cup mayonnaise
• 2 cups thinly sliced lettuce or 2 cups cabbage
• Tabasco sauce (optional)

1. Heat oven to 350u0b0.
2. Lightly beat egg, milk, 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoons black pepper in a bowl.
3. Mix flour, 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoons black pepper in a shallow baking dish.
4. Mix cornmeal, 1 teaspoons salt, and cayenne pepper in another small baking dish.
5. Dredge 8 oysters in flour, knocking off excess, then dip into egg mixture, letting excess drip off. Then dredge in cornmeal mixture, knocking off excess. Transfer to a rack or plate until frying. Repeat with remaining oysters in batches of 6-8, until they are all done.
6. Heat oil in a 4-qt. pot over high heat to 375u0b0.
7. While oil is heating, cut bread into 4 equal portions (half and half again) then split horizontally all the way through. Put bread in oven, directly on the rack, until warm - about 5 minute.
8. While bread is heating, gently drop 1/3 of the oysters into the hot oil and fry, stirring occasionally, until golden - about 45-60 sec. Transfer to papertowels to drain. Fry remaining oysters in the same manner and small batches.
9. Spread bread with mayonnaise topping with lettuce and TONS of oysters.
