The preparation:

First, open the oysters. Caution: This can be dangerous! Therefore, make sure to follow instructions!
Wash the shucked oysters thoroughly with salt water
Let the oysters dry - ideally on a layer of kitchen paper
Season oysters with salt and pepper
Fill the deep fryer with vegetable oil and heat to about 175°C (alternatively, heat oil in a pot/pan)
Now prepare three bowls/deep plates with flour, beaten egg and panko
First roll the oysters in flour, then dip them in the egg and finally coat them in the panko
Now dip the oysters in the hot oil and deep-fry for 2-5 minutes. Turn them regularly so that they brown all over. It's best to pay attention to the color. When the oysters are golden yellow, they are done
Now carefully remove the oysters from the oil.
Lemon or orange slices and thinly sliced cabbage are good accompaniments. Arrange and serve!

Summary

Kaki Fry, a beloved Japanese classic, features crispy, deep-fried oysters that are popular in many Japanese restaurants and often made at home, especially during their peak season in autumn and winter. This dish is known for its simplicity and delightful crunch, seasoned only with salt and pepper, and coated with a mixture of flour, egg, and Panko breadcrumbs, which are fried to a beautiful golden brown. For those who prefer a healthier option or lack a fryer, Kaki Fry can be baked in the oven after toasting the Panko until golden. Traditionally, these fried oysters are served with lemon wedges and either Tonkatsu or Tartar sauce, both of which can be bought ready-made.

This Japanese classic consists of crispy breaded, fried oysters - and is one of the most popular oyster dishes in Japan. You'll find Kaki Fry in many Japanese restaurants. The delicious dish is also popular to cook at home. Especially significant: Because the Japanese value seasonal foods so much, Kaki Fry is primarily available when they are actually in season: in autumn and winter. If you want to cook Kaki Fry at home, you can of course also use frozen or canned oysters. What makes Kaki Fry so delicious? In short: The fact that they are as simple as they are crispy! The oyster dish is completely without elaborate spice mixtures and is simply seasoned with salt and pepper. The breading of flour, egg and the Japanese breadcrumbs - Panko - is then fried beautifully golden brown in hot oil.
