I love oysters. They’re extremely nutrient rich, high in zinc, they taste amazing and they remind me of summer. I impulse bought a tin of shucked local oysters from Whole Foods the other day, and since I haven’t had fried oysters in a solid five years, decided to make some.

Paleo Fried Oysters
I love oysters. They’re extremely nutrient-rich, high in zinc, they taste amazing and they remind me of summer. I haven’t had fried oysters in a solid five years, decided to make some Paleo Fried Oysters! These are gluten-free and so much healthier than anything you get at a restaurant!
Ingredients
- 12-14 oysters about 8 oz
- 1/2 cup tapioca flour
- 1/3 cup almond flour
- 1 tsp Old Bay
- 1 egg
- salt
- 2-3 tbsp coconut oil or lard
Instructions
- Drain the oysters.
- Beat the egg in a bowl and set aside.
- Mix the tapioca, almond, Old Bay and set aside.
- Heat the coconut oil in a pan on medium-high heat.
- Dip the oysters in the egg, then the flour mixture.
- Fry on each side until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
Notes
Serve with dipping sauce – I mixed homemade mayo, ketchup and Old Bay together.

The best fried oyster in along time. This was quick and very flavorful. Did not take away from the succulent oysters. I will make these next time oysters go on sale.
So glad you liked them!
