A dish brought to the world from central Pennsylvania many years ago, this is the ultimate American comfort food. The warm batter that surrounds the salty sea taste of that lovely oyster feeds the soul like few other recipes can.
Paired with a light beer, they’re absolutely to die for. Truly a dish to pick you up when you’re feeling down.
Pro tip: Drizzle a little cocktail sauce over the fitters while they’re warm to get the traditional taste.
