The History of Fried Oysters | Behind the Recipe with Millie Peartree

FRIED OYSTERS: In Season 1, Episode 3 of Food52’s Behind the Recipe, Millie Peartree goes behind the recipe with food historian Scott Alves Barton to learn the history of fried oysters. This recipe is packed with seafood seasoning—think: Old Bay—in both the batter for the oysters and in the deliciously spiced tartar sauce used to dunk, drizzle, or spoon over the oysters to add double the amount of savory flavor.
