buttermilk

🥗Healthier: low-fat yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + vinegar

Low-fat yogurt reduces calories while maintaining tanginess.

French bread

🥗Healthier: whole grain bread

💰Cheaper: sub rolls

Whole grain bread adds fiber and nutrients.

Cut large oysters in half if necessary.

Pour 2-3 inches of oil into a cast iron skillet.

Heat the oil.

In a shallow dish, combine 1 cup of flour, ½ teaspoon of ground black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of salt.

In a second shallow dish, crack 2 eggs and beat lightly.

Pour 1 cup of yellow cornmeal into a third dish.

Coat a few raw oysters in the flour mixture.

Coat the oysters with the beaten egg.

Finally, coat the oysters with the cornmeal.

Working in batches, fry the oysters in the hot oil for 45 seconds.

Flip the oysters and fry for an additional 45 seconds.

Remove the fried oysters from the oil and drain on paper towels.

To assemble the sandwich, nestle 3-4 fried oysters on a 6-inch hoagie roll.

Drizzle with rémoulade sauce.

Top with shredded lettuce and sliced tomato.
