Ingredients

12 Oysters, fresh or frozen
1 cup Flour
1/2 cup Oil
Salt and pepper, to taste

Preparation

1
Use only the large Asiatic oysters caught in the Indian Ocean, Black Sea, or the Persian and Arabian gulfs.
2
Use the delicious white meat only. Discard the round white bone sometimes discovered inside the shell - or give it to some Persian. They seem to prefer these bones to gold; they call them "pearls".
3
Drain oysters. Roll in flour. Heat oil until hot in a large frying pan.
4
Fry oysters on medium-high heat for 5 minutes turning over once. Sprinkle with seasonings and serve.
