Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard, and 1/4 cup reduced-calorie mayonnaise dressing to make the tartar sauce.
  2. Fold 2 tablespoons chopped dill pickle into the mayonnaise mixture.
  3. Refrigerate the tartar sauce until ready to use.
  4. In a separate small bowl, mix 1/4 cup unsifted all-purpose flour, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper.
  5. Heat 1/2 cup vegetable oil in a heavy skillet over high heat to 350ðF (177ðC).
  6. One at a time, dip 12 freshly shucked raw oysters into the flour mixture, coating them evenly.
  7. Fry the oysters in batches of 4 until golden brown, about 1 minute per side.
  8. Transfer fried oysters to paper towels to drain excess oil.
  9. Preheat oven to 300ðF (149ðC).
  10. Using a serrated knife, split open the French bread loaf from one long side, cutting to within 1/4 inch of the other side.
  11. Open the bread and place it cut-sides up on a baking sheet; bake for 3 minutes to toast.
  12. Spread half of the prepared tartar sauce on the bottom half of the toasted bread.
  13. Top with lettuce leaves and tomato slices.
  14. Pile the fried oysters on top of the vegetables.
  15. Sprinkle with remaining lemon juice and spoon the remaining tartar sauce over the oysters.
  16. Close the bread, cut the sandwich in half, and serve immediately.

Note

Keep the fried oysters warm in a low oven while assembling the sandwiches to ensure the best texture.

For a traditional full-fat tartar sauce, substitute regular mayonnaise for the reduced-calorie dressing.

Ensure the oil temperature stays at 350ðF for optimal crispiness; if the oil is too cool, the oysters will become greasy.
