Today we are sharing favorite recipes for Seasonal Fish and Seafood. Since oyster season is in full swing, I thought I would share another recipe for them.
This particular recipe uses a panko coating to ensure a very crispy exterior.
Oysters are a Southern low country classic, and whether served up simply fried, or tucked away inside of a French bread Po’ Boy, they are sure to please.

I love oysters, unfortunately I am the only one in the house who does so unless I’m entertaining I only get them when we go out.
Look at all those amazing oysters. Fried is my favorite way of ordering them.
