Breaded Oysters

---

This is the oyster breading recipe i use in my restaurant. i use these for the basis of many recipes. as i live close to the ocean and one of the largest producers of oysters in north america is 15 min from me i feel ok about buying the oysters from them. this recipe uses fresh shucked oysters. the oysters are breaded then frozen raw and can be cooked from raw without thawing. i use this base for making oyster burgers which i will also post.
