    Pearl Oyster Bar

    List of Ingredients




    36-48 medium oysters, shucked
    peanuts or canola oil (for frying)
    1 1/2 cups cracker meal
    4 1/2 cups flour
    kosher salt
    2 tablespoons unsalted butter
    6 top-opening hotdog buns

    Tartar Sauce:
    1/4 cup chopped red onions
    1/4 cup roughly chopped capers
    1/4 cup chopped cornichons, plus 2 tablespoons of the juice
    3 cups hellmann mayonnaise
    1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
    1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

    Recipe



    For tartar sauce: In a large bowl, mix the ingredients thoroughly.
    Refrigerate.
    Makes about 4 1/2 cups- more than you will need.
    Oysters: In a deep saucepan or pot, heat the oil (3 inches deep) to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
    Mix the cracker meal and flour in a large dish.
    Drain the oysters in a strainer and drop them into the cracker meal mixture one by one, keeping them separated.
    Coat each oyster well, then shake off the excess.
    Drop each oyster gently into the hot oil and fry until they are golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes.
    It's important not to overfry them.
    Drain them on paper towels and sprinkle with kosher salt.
    Meanwhile in a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter.
    Place rolls in the skillet on their sides.
    Cook until browned, turn and cook other side.
    Spread tartar sauce inside each roll, place oysters in roll and serve immediately.
