Instructions
- TARTAR SAUCE In a bowl, combine all the ingredients. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate.
- FRIED OYSTERS Preheat the oil in the deep-fryer to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with several layers of paper towels.
- With the oven rack in the middle position, preheat the broiler.
- In a bowl, combine the cornmeal and cayenne. Season with salt. Dredge the oysters in the cornmeal mixture, coating them well.
- Drop half the oysters into the deep-fryer and fry until golden, 1 to 2 minutes, depending on size. Drain and transfer to the paper towels. Repeat with the remaining oysters. Season with salt
- SANDWICHES Meanwhile, toast the bread under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Spread tartar sauce on each half. Top the bottom half with lettuce, tomatoes and fried oysters. Cover with the top half of the bread and press firmly. Cut into 2-inch (5 cm) pieces and insert a toothpick in each bite
- Serve as an hors d’oeuvre or for lunch.
Preparation 20 minutes, cooking 7 minutes. The po’ boy is a New Orleans invention: a submarine sandwich loaded with fried oysters, crayfish or crab topped with lettuce, pickles, tomatoes and mayonnaise. It’s simple fare, ideal for lunch with corn on the cob.
