Instructions: Put cornmeal in shallow dish, add salt and pepper to taste. Mix. Dredge oysters in mixture and place single layer on wax paper lined cookie sheets.

(This is the secret.) Freeze until firm. 2 to 3 hours. You need a deep boiler for deep frying. Put in lots of oil. Get it good and hot but not smoking. Drop frozen oysters into hot oil. Fry quickly. These will be brown and crispy on the outside and soft and juicy inside.
