Start by shucking your own fresh oysters. Use 6 large shucked oysters; 1 1/2 pints stout, preferably Guinness; 1/2 cup all-purpose flour; 1 pinch seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay; 1 pinch salt 1 pinch ground black pepper; and Vegetable or canola oil, for frying.

 Marinate the oysters in the beer for 30 minutes or more.

Heat a few inches of oil in a large saucepot to 350 degrees F. Combine the flour, seafood seasoning, salt and pepper. Dredge the marinated oysters in the flour, and then shallow-fry until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes.

Use your favorite French bread, cut in half; top with lettuce, tomato, and your favorite red or remoulade sauce.

Bon Apetit!
