Fried Oyster and Softshell Crab Po' Boys

[Teddy J.]

For Valentine's day we decided to skip the crowds at the restaurants, pick up a half bushel of oysters, and head to the beach for some raw oysters and drinks while we watch the sunset. We had a bunch leftover so decided to make a couple po' boys; one with fried oysters and another with softshell crab.

A couple dozen oysters and the crab ready to go. If anybody needs an oyster knife recommendation, that red one is a Victorinox 4" Boston. I really like it as an alternative to the family heirloom that's next to it.

Fried the oysters in cornmeal, and the crab in a mix of cornmeal and panko. Sliced up some lettuce and tomato, and added a spicy mayo spread (mayo, sriracha, and horseradish).

Your plate.

Thanks for looking.

I'd be having those for lunch if I had a replicator. I only cook crab once/twice per year, and usually very plainly..... great ideas

Very nice Teddy. That looks absolutely delicious! Thought we were going to see a beach cook there for a minute, with the ocean and sunset in the background!

Thanks everyone! The bread kinda threw it off, too heavy. I tried to find a bakery last minute to get some nice flaky, light stuff - but didn't succeed.

Wow Teddy - that looks like it came right off the menu at Deanies in New Orleans dude! Great job - and what an outstanding meal selection for V-Day...

Regards,

John

the Luxuries of living OUTSIDE the frozen tundra and near the sea...
when I was young, the trips to the FLA Keys were treasured as were the visits to the raw bars and the tiki huts that served fresh off-the-boat oystas by the milk crate full...


I need to sell all my **** here and travel there again very **** soon. this winter **** is really affecting me in very weird ***ways
