Notes
As long as the oysters are fresh, and you are comfortable doing so, taste the raw oyster before you add the seasoning. If your oysters are nice and salty (which is what you want) don't add salt to your frying ingredients. If they are not salty go ahead and add some. This was why I said to use a low salt creole seasoning, you don't want to over season your oysters.
Do not fry too many oysters at the same time as this may cause them to stick together or some be more cooked than others. Cook in small batches.
If you don't have a thermometer for your grease you can check with the handle of a wooden spoon, bubbles will fizz around the wood once it is up to temperature.
I also have a seafood sauce recipe that works well with fried oysters. Check it out here.
