SAN FRANCISCO OYSTER LOAF



San Francisco Oyster Loaf image

This recipe has a Southern US tradition, but I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and I can remember my mother talk about how the butter would squirt from the loaves that Grandad would bring home from Fisherman's Wharf. I don't know how close this is to what Grandad brought home, but it sure is good! Being comfort food, use butter or don't bother.

CHESAPEAKE OYSTER LOAF



Chesapeake Oyster Loaf image

"Oyster loaves" have been served for many decades, though the oysters were not fried, at least in the earlier days; the bread was hollowed out, rather than split; and butter was commonly used, rather than lettuce or tomato. La Médiatrice, or "the peacemaker", was the name given the oyster loaf in New Orleans in the 1800s: "Men out late carousing in the French Quarter brought home the golden toasted loaf, hollowed out and stuffed with hot creamed oysters or perhaps buttery fried oysters, as a peace offering to their jealous wives. The loaves were sold all over the Quarter for pennies. In 19th-century oyster-crazed America, the loaf was known elsewhere too. The original Joy of Cooking (1931) includes a recipe, although by then the loaf had metamorphosed into Creamed Oysters in Bread Cases, which sounds better suited to a ladies' lunch than to making marital amends." From the Southern chapter of the United States Regional Cookbook, Culinary Arts Institute of Chicago, 1947.

FRIED OYSTERS



Fried Oysters image

Virginia is known for its fresh Chesapeake Bay oysters, and this crispy Deep Fried Oysters recipe is the best way to prepare them!

Provided by Blair Lonergan

Categories     Appetizer     Dinner

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pint fresh shucked oysters (about 18 oysters total)
Peanut oil, for frying
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon minced fresh dill or parsley, optional
1 ½ tablespoons freshly-squeezed lemon juice
Salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • For the Tartar Sauce: Combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Heat oil in a deep fryer to 350°F, in a deep cast iron skillet, or in a Dutch oven over medium heat to a depth of about 2-3 inches, until it reaches 350°F. If you don't have a deep-fry thermometer, sprinkle a few drops of water on the hot oil. If it sizzles, the oil is hot enough.
  • Drain the oysters in a colander and pat dry with paper towels. Use a toothpick to poke a small hole in the large round part of each oyster.
  • Put the buttermilk in a shallow dish. In a separate shallow dish, combine the cornmeal, flour, salt, Old Bay seasoning and pepper.
  • Add the oysters to the buttermilk and soak for a few minutes. Remove the oysters from the buttermilk, gently shake off excess liquid, and dredge in cornmeal mixture to coat on all sides. Shake off excess breading and transfer to a wire rack.
  • Working in batches so that you don't overcrowd the pan, fry oysters until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Drain on paper towels, season with additional salt and pepper (if necessary) while they're still warm, and serve hot with tartar sauce or other dipping sauce.
