Southern Fried Oysters

• Ingredients for Oysters:
• 1 cup Saltines (lightly blender is food processor)
• 1 cup self-rising flour
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 2 eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 2 (12 ounce) containers fresh oysters, drained
• Vegetable oil
• Ingredients for Remoulade Sauce:
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2 tablespoon catsup
• 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
• Pinch of cayenne pepper
• 1/2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon horseradish
• 1 clove garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon celery salt
• 1/2 teaspoon Paprika
• 1/2 tablespoon capers

1. Oysters:
2. In one bowl, mix the saltines, flour and cayenne pepper. In a second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Dip the oysters in the egg mixture, dredge thru the flour and place on wax paper. Pour at least 5 inches of oil into a cast iron Dutch oven and heat to 375 degrees using a candy/deep fry thermometer throughout the process. The key to perfect oysters is maintaining the oil at 375 degrees. This means don't cook too many oysters at a time and watch your thermometer closely. The more oil you use the greater the heat sink you create and the less the temperature will drop (i.e. don't skimp on the oil). Fry oysters until golden brown, turning once. Place on paper towels, then serve immediately.
3. Remoulade Sauce:
4. Place all ingredients in a mixer and blend. Refrigerate.
