How to choose good oysters
- You should choose oysters that are medium or small in size, round in shape, short in length, with a bulging and protruding shell; avoid flat ones, as they usually have very small meat.
- Avoid choosing large oysters as they are often difficult to select from the outside and you have to wait until the shell is opened to know if they are good or not.
- Live oysters that feel heavy when lifted, are firm, and do not feel hollow are the meaty ones.
- You can tap the oyster lightly on the ground; if you hear a small sound or no sound, it indicates the oyster is plump, but this method should only be used for small oysters!
How to make fried oysters with mayonnaise sauce
-
Prepare the oysters
After purchasing the oysters, use a brush to scrub the oyster shells under running water to clean off all the mud and algae on the outside.
Place the oysters in boiling water and blanch for about 2 – 3 minutes. When exposed to hot water, the oysters will naturally open, at this point you can gently pull apart the shell. Use a knife to gently extract the oyster meat.
Tip:
- For a large quantity, you can use a high-pressure spray to quickly wash off the mud stuck on the oyster shells.
- If you have time, you can soak the oysters in a diluted salt water with a few chili peppers, this method helps the oysters clean out all the mud inside.

Dipping in batter
Take 2 chicken eggs, crack them open and use chopsticks to beat them well until blended.
Dip the oyster meat successively through a layer of flour, a layer of beaten egg, and a layer of breadcrumbs, then prepare for frying.
-
Fry the oysters
Pour oil into the pan, wait until it’s hot, then gradually add the battered oysters into the hot oil, frying until golden brown, then remove and let them drain excess oil.
Tip:
- You should fry in deep oil over low heat, which helps the oysters cook evenly, turn golden, and become crispier.
- Wait for the oil to be very hot before adding the oysters; you can use chopsticks to touch the bottom of the pan, and if you see bubbles rising, the oil is hot enough.
- When the oysters are golden brown, turn up the heat and quickly remove all the oysters before turning off the heat, which helps the oysters remain crispy and absorb less oil.
-
Boil quail eggs
Prepare a pot of boiling water, add the quail eggs and boil for about 10 minutes.
Remove, peel off the shells, and then use a knife to chop the quail eggs finely.
-
Make the sauce
Chop cucumber and onion finely. Add chopped cilantro, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and ground pepper.
Mix together with 4 tablespoons of mayonnaise, squeeze in some lemon juice, and use a spoon to mix all the ingredients thoroughly.

Final product
The oyster meat is coated with a crispy layer of breading, while the inside remains fresh and delicious. When eaten with the tangy and creamy sauce, it guarantees you’ll love it.
Tip:
- Oysters should not be coated with too much flour; you should only give a light, even layer. Avoid making them too floury, as it can make them less enjoyable to eat.
- For pre-shucked oyster meat purchased, you can lightly rub it with salt to clean the oysters thoroughly, which also effectively reduces the fishy taste!
Tips for storing fresh oysters:
- If you have leftover cleaned oysters, place them with the pointed side down and cover them with a damp cloth, then put everything in the refrigerator for storage.
- The shelf life of fresh and tasty oysters can be from 2 to 3 days.
