Ingredients:

• 2 dozen shucked Alaska oysters, drained
  

• 2 quarts oil for deep frying
  

• ½ cup all-purpose flour
  

• 1 teaspoon salt
  

• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  

• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  

• ¾ cup fine bread crumbs

Step 1:
Heat oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees F 

Step 2:
Set up your dredging stations. 

Combine flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl. Place eggs in another bowl. Place bread crumbs in a third bowl.

Step 3:
Dredge oysters in flour mixture, then dip in egg and roll in bread crumbs to coat thoroughly.

Step 4:
Cook oysters, 5-6 at a time, in hot oil until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. They should be light and crispy.  Serve hot.
