Deep fried oysters

I had oysters in the fridge that HAD to be used!  So I deep fried them! 

We ate them with sriracha mayo! YUMMMY!

I shucked them, dredged them in flour seasoned with smoked paprika, salt and pepper and chili flakes. Then they had a little egg wash bath and then into some panko crumbs. I seasoned the panko with some lemon zest and good old salt and pepper.

Isn't that a huge oyster!  Imagine eating that one raw!  EWWW  no thank you! But deep fried it was delicious!
