fried oyster po’ boys

You may not accept that it is possible to lose weight while on a eating plan which includes fried oyster po’ boys but it is achievable. It is pivotal to not eat fried oyster po’ boys or other high calorie sandwiches & po’ boys every day but in moderation.

As an example, I allow myself moderately high calorie food one day per week. I eat a low calorie diet 6 days a week, say 1400 to 1800 calories per day, and then on the 7th day, I eat what I please – without going overboard of course.

I have been sticking to this diet for the last few weeks and it has helped me to lose 5 kilos. I have not accelerated my exercise plan or taken any pills or diet aids. I have simply been conscious of what I eat 6 days per week and then eat whatever I like one day per week.

I also feel it makes things easier if you have professional support when dieting and for that I joined the Biggest Loser club. They have numerous tools to help you monitor your progress and achieve your goals.

Fried Oyster Po’ Boys

Tartar Sauce
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup minced sweet pickle
1 large hard-boiled, forced through a coarse sieve
2 tablespoons minced shallot
2 tablespoons drained bottled capers
1/2 teaspoon crumbled dried tarragon
2 tablespoons Creole or Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley leaves
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Po’ Boys
24 shucked oysters, drained
Yellow cornmeal, seasoned with freshly ground
    black pepper and cayenne, for coating
Vegetable oil for deep-frying
2 loaves soft-crust French bread
Sliced tomatoes
Shredded iceberg lettuce

Tartar Sauce: In a small bowl stir together sauce ingredients.

Po’ Boys: In a heavy-duty plastic bag, working in batches of 6, coat oysters with cornmeal, knocking off excess. In a heavy kettle heat 1 1/2 inches of oil to 375 degrees on a deep-fat thermometer and fry oysters in batches of 6, turning occasionally, until golden and just cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes. Transfer oysters with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain.

Halve loaves crosswise and horizontally, cutting all the way through and spread each piece with about 2 tablespoons tartar sauce. Divide tomatoes, lettuce, and oysters among bottom pieces of bread and top with remaining bread, pressing together gently.

Makes 4 sandwiches.
