These delicious oysters are lightly crunchy on the outside and soft and delectably succulent on the inside. They make for a very quick and easy meal. Just add a side salad and some garlic bread and you have dinner in no time; perfect for Valentine's day. Most folks know that oysters are a purported aphrodisiac, but did you know that they are a good source of zinc, a mineral vital to the immune system?

  • 3
    One at a time, add oysters to the flour, shaking bag after each addition. Set aside.
  • 4
    Add about 1/4 to 1/3 inch of oil to fry pan. Heat over medium/medium-high heat until oil begins to shimmer (not smoke!)
