Boned Oysters

Recipe Ingredients

12		Oysters - fresh or frozen
1 cup	62g / 2.2oz	Flour
1/2 cup	118ml	Oil
		Salt and pepper - to taste

Recipe Instructions

Use only the large Asiatic oysters caught in the Indian Ocean, Black Sea, or the Persian and Arabian gulfs.

Use the delicious white meat only. Discard the round white bone sometimes discovered inside the shell -- or give it to some Persian. They seem to prefer these bones to gold; they call them "pearls".

Drain oysters. Roll in flour. Heat oil until hot in a large frying pan. Fry oysters on medium-high heat for 5 minutes turning over once. Sprinkle with seasonings and serve.
