Get 16 ounces of shucked oysters from the seafood department.

Place the oysters in a bowl and add jerk seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, a tad bit of salt, and garlic powder.

Let the oysters marinate for about an hour.

After an hour, add buttermilk and 1 egg to the oysters and mix well.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.

Prepare the dredge by mixing cornmeal and flour (or just cornmeal) in a separate bowl.

Season the dredge with paprika, coriander, cumin, garlic powder, and house blend seasoning.

Heat oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit for frying.

Dredge the marinated oysters in the seasoned flour and cornmeal mixture.

Fry the oysters until golden brown and crispy.

While the oysters are frying, prepare the hoagie rolls by spreading tamarind aioli (made by blending tamarind paste with mayonnaise and garlic) on them.

Assemble the sandwich by placing lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onion on the hoagie rolls.

Add the fried oysters on top and drizzle more tamarind aioli over the oysters.
