Preparation
- Combine buttermilk, hot sauce, and oysters in a sealable bag or covered bowl and marinate in the fridge for 1 hr.
- In a medium bowl combine flour, cornmeal, smoked paprika, cayenne, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper
- In a small bowl make remoulade by mixing mayo, Dijon, lemon juice, 2 tbsp hot sauce, pickles, smoked paprika, celery seed, and salt & pepper to taste
- Heat veg oil in a Dutch oven or medium pan to 350 F
- In 2 batches remove oysters from marinade and allow excess to drip off. Toss in the spiced cornmeal mixture and make sure they are fully coated. Fry for approx. 1 min. until breading is golden brown. Rest fried oysters on paper towel and sprinkle with pinch of salt immediately after frying.
- Cut hoagie in half and spread even layer of But-R-Like on each half. Grill or toast halves cut side down on a cast iron pan until hoagies are toasted golden with a bit of charring.
- Prepare po’ boys by spreading remoulade on each hoagie half and from bottom up: oysters, lettuce, tomato, and hoagie top. Cut sandwich in half for 2 portions.
TIPS:
Oysters come in different sizes. Pre-shucked oysters would be the easiest route, but if you’re shucking yourself use your judgment on how many you want on the po’ boy.
