Warm, comforting, and visually appealing! Fried oysters make a delightful appetizer.

• Shuck the oysters and loosen them from the shell.
• Place them on a paper towel to drain.
• Empty the shells thoroughly and place the deep side in the oven to dry and warm up.
• Melt butter in a frying pan and, in the meantime, dredge the oysters in a bowl of flour and black pepper.
• Once the butter begins to brown, fry the floured oysters until they are golden brown on all sides.
• Place the fried oysters back into their shells and add a sprig of raw samphire (sea asparagus) on the side.
• Enjoy!
