Southern Fried Oysters with Lemon and Parsley

AIP Oyster Bar - Southern Fried Oysters with Lemon and Parsley

Who doesn't love the crunchy crispy goodness of all things Southern Fried? Just because you follow the Autoimmune Protocol doesn't mean you have to go without. Our chef came up with this recipe and the result is a nice, light batter much like you would expect from a traditional tempura.

Oysters are packed with iron, calcium, potassium, magnesium, zinc and Vitamin B-12. Some people may be intimidated by preparing oysters, but they are actually very simple to prepare. It is important to examine the oysters you have purchased. Throw away any that have broken shells. If you see one that is open, tap on the shell. If it closes that means it is alive and healthy. If it doesn't close, throw it away! At the same time if you are serving Steamed Oysters and there is one that doesn't open, throw it away!
