Oyster Fritters

Recipe

• chopped oysters (about 1 cup)
• 1 egg, beaten
• flour
• salt and pepper

Mix together chopped oysters, beaten egg and seasonings. Add just enough flour to hold together. Drop by spoonful into hot grease. Fry until golden.

This recipe was contributed by the late Eloise Pigott of Gloucester, N.C., in the June/July 1983 issue of Coastwatch.

When preparing this recipe, I used 1/4 cup of flour and 1/4 teaspoon of salt and pepper. Add additional flour if needed.
