Even though Titus says he likes the fish instead of the meat, the poor oyster po-boy sandwich is lagging behind in our poll. Of course Meade said he voted for it and that he also loves to stick his tongue right in that fishy sandwich, but he is just doing that to curry favor with the ladies.
He is quite shameless.
Anyway here is an oyster po-boy recipe.
This oyster po' boy would also be delicious with Come Back Sauce instead of mayonnaise.
Ingredients:
1 quart oysters
3 large eggs
3 cups cornmeal
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
1 teaspoon black pepper
4 French bread rolls, about 6-inches each, or 2 baguettes, cut in half crosswise
2 medium tomatoes
shredded lettuce
mayonnaise or Come Back Sauce
dill pickle slices
salt and pepper
Preparation:In a medium bowl, beat the eggs; stir in oysters and let stand for 5 minutes.
In a large food storage bag, combine the cornmeal, flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, Cajun seasoning, and 1 teaspoon pepper.
Take an oyster from the beaten egg, let excess drip off, and toss in the bag. Shake until well coated. Repeat with remaining oysters.
Fry the oysters in batches for about 3 minutes, or until golden brown.
Split 1 roll or section; spread with mayonnaise or Come Back Sauce.
On the bottom of the roll, arrange layers of shredded lettuce, oysters, tomato slices, and sliced pickles. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Repeat with remaining rolls, oysters, and filling ingredients. Enjoy!

I just changed my vote--I'm with Meade.
I don't need all that damn bread. Just put it all in bowl and serve it up. Yum.
But only in "r" months.
I do like oysters. But usually raw with hot sauce and crackers. Yum.
And good beer.
Again, I'm late to this party.
One suggestion: change the cornmeal to corn flour. It's less grainy, and doesn't get greasy.
Also, be extravagant and butter your French bread and grill it a minute before dressing it with the mayo, tomatoes, lettuce and pickles. And you'll want to squeeze on some lemon and shake a littl ehot sauce once you've loaded it up with the oysters.
