For our oyster video, we wanted to instill a feeling of home. Pat is from the American South, so traditional fried oysters sounded like a good way for oysters to travel cross-country into our frying pan in Pat’s kitchen!

We used Pacific oysters dipped Louisiana Traditional Fish Fry, dunked into vegetable oil five inches deep– just enough to toss them in and watch the back sizzle and turn a rich brown. The oysters transformed from lush and wet to crunchy and comforting. Since it’s chilly and wet in the Pacific Northwest it was nice to have that contrast of the sea warmed up and crunchy, still retaining its meroir — the taste of the ocean — each bite of crisped breading oosing brine and soft, creamy oceanic flesh.
