Frying Oysters in a Non Stick Pan

Our summer vacation was wonderful this year. We took our boat from Nanaimo, BC all the way to Shoal Bay on West Thurlow Island. We went to Ramsey Arm, one of our favorite places and got up at 7 am when the tide was out. My husband, his sister, her son and I shucked our quota for the two days we stayed there. Every time we go to Ramsey Arm there is nobody there. It is a very long beautiful inlet. After 1 hour we had shucked 120 oysters. Meanwhile we pulled our prawn traps and got a few prawns. My nephew caught 2 ling cod and 1 red snapper. What a feast!

 Here is the oyster recipe. Very simple but so good.

Ingredients:
Shucked oysters and cleaned thoroughly.
Egg, beaten
Vegetable oil
Wheat Germ

Using a non stick fry pan put approximately enough oil to cover bottom of the pan about 1/8th of an inch. Turn stove on to medium. I try to make all my meals as less fattening as possible. If you need more oil later go ahead and add some so they don't stick.

Have two bowls prepared. One with a beaten egg and one with 1/2 cup wheat germ.  Put a few oysters into the beaten egg. Take one at a time (let the excess drip off) and put the in the wheat germ. Add more wheat germ if necessary.

When the oil is hot (not too hot) put as many oysters as you can into the pan without letting them touch each other. Brown slowly for maybe 4 - 5 minutes on each side. Drain on a paper towel.

Meanwhile find anything in your fridge that you can dip them in. Mango Chutney, Oyster Sauce, Teriyaki Sauce, Chipotle Ketchup etc.

We love eating oysters this way. Enjoy!
