buttermilk

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Rinse the oysters in cold water with salt and let them sit for about 30 minutes, changing the water until it runs clear.

Mix together 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour and 1/2 cup of yellow cornmeal in a bowl until well combined.

Take each oyster and dredge it in the flour and cornmeal mixture, ensuring it is well coated.

Turn on the heat to medium-high to heat the oil for frying, aiming for 350°F.

Once the oil is hot, gently lay the coated oysters in the oil, ensuring to hear a sizzle when they hit the oil.

Fry the oysters until they are golden brown, checking the color to determine doneness.

Remove the oysters from the oil and season them immediately with sea salt and cracked black pepper.

Prepare the poor boy sandwich by slicing the tomato and gathering the shredded lettuce and bread.
