Test Kitchen 07

After the shelled haul from yesterday's oyster hunt was devoured rather quickly, we had a few oysters and mussel still in their shells. I was thinking of making something else and the one thing that came to mind was the fried oyster cakes that are usually sold as UFOs. After doing a quick search for a recipe, dad shucked the oysters and I made the batter for our experiment. The first few UFOs came out looking like they were of screenshots of a UFO mid-explosion. Then finally we got the oil temperature and timing right, and we got the last few looking like they should. The batter was also quite good for batters mussels, and I'll probably test it out on some soft shell crabs soon.
