The Oyster Onion Fritters are a perfect alternative to traditional onion rings, providing an added punch of flavor with the use of oysters. Oysters are widely known for their aphrodisiac properties, but they also add an extra level of protein to this snack. Quick and easy to make, this dish is perfect for parties or as a light dinner option. The subtle sweetness of the onions balances well with the salty, briny flavor of the oysters. The fritters themselves are crispy and crunchy on the outside, but the oyster inside is juicy and tender, creating a tantalizing contrast of textures.

Instructions

1.In a bowl, combine the drained oysters with the oyster liquid and onion. Mix well.
2.In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
3.Add the dry ingredients to the oyster mixture and stir until well combined.
4.Beat in the egg to form a batter.
5.Heat the oil in a shallow frying pan, just enough to coat the bottom. Spoon the batter into the pan, making fritters about 2-3 inches in diameter, and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
