No matter the occasion, there’s never a time we wouldn’t gladly stuff an entire oyster ‘po boy into our mouths with little thought. We whipped up a slider variation on the classic oyster sandwich perfect for Superbowl Sunday Hosts!

Serves 4-6 

• Ingredients: 
• 6 slider-sized brioche buns, halved and toasted
• 1 cups iceberg lettuce, shredded 
• 1.5 cups mayonnaise
• ½ cup pepperoncinis, chopped
• 3 dashes of worcestershire sauce 
• 2 teaspoons garlic, minced 
• 1 teaspoon stone-ground mustard
• 1 tablespoon hot sauce (we love Zab’s for this one)
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 12 pickle chips (we love Grillo’s for this) 
• 2 sliced tomatoes
• 1 16-ounce container of Taylor Shellfish shucked oyster meat
• 1 cup semolina flour
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 2 eggs, whisked 
• 2 tablespoons whole milk
• Enough vegetable oil to float your oysters

In a medium sized bowl, thoroughly mix  your mayo, peppers, worcestershire sauce, garlic, mustard, hot sauce, and salt until entirely combined before adding the shredded lettuce into the mixture, creating a coleslaw of sorts!

In a small bowl, whisk your eggs and milk together and place in front of you along with another bowl with the semolina flour and panko also mixed up. Par-boil your oysters for about 1 minute or until meat firms up slightly. Remove and place onto plate. Working oyster by oyster, dip the bivalve in egg before coating it in the breading and setting aside on a small baking sheet. Repeat until all your oysters are covered in breading. Place the baking sheet covered in your freezer for thirty minutes or up to two days. When you’re ready to make ‘po boys, heat your oil over medium heat and (in batches of 3-4) fry the oyster nuggets until golden brown and fish them out with a slotted spoon. Repeat until all of your oysters are cooked. 

Build your sliders by stacking a generous layer of slaw over the top of the bottom bun, adding an oyster (or two, depending on size) on top of the slaw, then finishing with the tomato slices, pickles, and finally the buns’ top. Serve immediately.
