Title: Casamento's Fried Oyster Loaf Sandwich
Categories: Seafood, Citrus, Chilies, Sauces, Breads
Yield: 4 servings

2 tb + 1 1/2 ts ketchup
1 tb Prepared horseradish
1/2 ts Fresh lemon juice
Lemon wedges; for serving
2 tb Kosher salt; more as needed
Hot sauce
1 oz Unsalted butter; room temp
8 sl (thick) soft white bread
Lard; for frying
2 c Fine corn flour
40 lg Oysters; shucked. not
- rinsed
1/4 c Mayonnaise
4 lg Tomato slices
4 lg Iceberg lettuce leaves
Dill pickle spears; for
- serving

In a small bowl, whisk the ketchup, horseradish, and
lemon juice. Season with kosher salt and a few dashes of
hot sauce. Set aside.

Heat the broiler. Meanwhile, on a large baking sheet,
lightly butter the bread slices on both sides.

Fry the oysters: Line a baking sheet or platter with
paper towels and set it by the stove. In a large,
heavy-bottomed pot fitted with a deep-fry thermometer,
add enough melted lard or oil to reach 4 inches up the
sides of the pot. Begin preheating over medium-high
heat.

While the oil is preheating, prepare the first batch of
oysters: In a shallow bowl, whisk the corn flour and 2
tablespoons of salt. Work with 10 oysters at a time:
Dredge them in the flour mixture, pressing it onto the
oysters to cover, then shake gently to remove any
excess. When the oil reaches 350+XF, add the prepared
oysters in batches, and cook, stirring occasionally with
a spider strainer or slotted metal spoon, until golden
brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer the oysters to the
baking sheet as you continue cooking the remaining
oysters.

While the last few batches of oysters are frying, broil
the bread, turning once, until golden on both sides,
about 1-5 minutes per side.

Spread 4 of the toast slices with a tablespoon of the
prepared sauce. Spread each of the remaining 4 slices
with a tablespoon of mayonnaise. Place 10 oysters on
each of the sauce-topped toasts, then add a slice of
tomato, a few leaves of lettuce, and the remaining
toasts. Serve with pickle spears, lemon quarters, and
hot sauce, if desired.

Yield: serves 4
