Instructions

Drain the oysters and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
In another dish, beat the eggs.
Place the breadcrumbs in a third dish.
Dredge each oyster in the flour mixture, then dip it in the beaten eggs, and finally coat it in breadcrumbs.
Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat.
Fry the oysters in batches for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fried oysters from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve the fried oysters hot with lemon wedges and your choice of cocktail sauce or tartar sauce for dipping.
Enjoy!
