Prepare the oysters. Combine the flour & cracker meal & dredge the oysters in the mixture. Let the oysters sit, refrigerated, for 20 minutes. Heat the oil to about 350°F on medium heat. Add in the butter (optional for flavor).
Fry the oysters until crispy, about 1-2 minutes per side. The oysters are done when they are golden brown & crispy. Transfer the fried oysters to a paper towel lined plate. Sprinkle with sea salt & serve hot with spicy cocktail sauce and lemon wedges.

Chef’s Note:This is a great recipe for the holidays and goes well as croutons on a salad or as part of the dressing in a Thanksgiving turkey!
