Rinse and drain oysters in a colander. Pat dry.

Add buttermilk to a bowl.

In another bowl add seafood breader with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Mix.

Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat using about an inch depth of oil. You'll know it's ready when a little bit of the breader sprinkled in starts to sizzle.

Dip a few oysters into buttermilk then dredge in seafood breader mix, coating well in each.

Add oysters in batches, turning once during frying until golden brown on all sides. Remove quickly with a metal spoon as they will cook almost instantly.

Optional: Garnish with green onions and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
