"I love oysters, raw, cooked, smoked or any way I can get them. Pan fried is easy, fast and really good. I can eat this by myself easily. Maybe I should double or triple this??"

Fantastic. Instead of cornmeal I used Italian bread crumbs. Mixed the garlic in with the dried ingredients. I prepared the oysters ahead of time and put on waxed paper and in the frig for an hour before cooking. I cooked them longer than 40 seconds, wanting to be sure they were fully cooked. They tasted great. Will cook again, and again.

I added some cajun seasoning to mine. I wasn't sure when to add the minced garlic so it went it with the oysters. The oysters I used were quite large and I think this would have been better if I had cut them in half. Thanks for sharing this very quick and easy recipe.

Great technique. I subbed bread crumbs for cornmeal (didn't have) and also added a little Old Bay seasoning to the flour mixture.Thanks for recipe.

I left out the parsley and substituted Old Bay's herb and garlic seasoning. These were incredibly easy and tasted just like restaurant oysters. We used them on po' boys like they do in Louisiana. YUM.

I used half of each ingredient, it made just enough for my small container of fresh oysters. Fried them in butter/oil mixture. Very tasty way to serve oysters as an appetizer!
