CHESAPEAKE OYSTER LOAF
"Oyster loaves" have been served for many decades, though the oysters were not fried, at least in the earlier days; the bread was hollowed out, rather than split; and butter was commonly used, rather than lettuce or tomato. La Médiatrice, or "the peacemaker", was the name given the oyster loaf in New Orleans in the 1800s: "Men out late carousing in the French Quarter brought home the golden toasted loaf, hollowed out and stuffed with hot creamed oysters or perhaps buttery fried oysters, as a peace offering to their jealous wives. The loaves were sold all over the Quarter for pennies. In 19th-century oyster-crazed America, the loaf was known elsewhere too. The original Joy of Cooking (1931) includes a recipe, although by then the loaf had metamorphosed into Creamed Oysters in Bread Cases, which sounds better suited to a ladies' lunch than to making marital amends." From the Southern chapter of the United States Regional Cookbook, Culinary Arts Institute of Chicago, 1947.

OYSTER LOAF SANDWICH
I think the shrimp (or even scallops) can replace oysters in this sandwich. The tartar sauce for the sandwich is included but you can easily use your own favorite store tartar sauce instead. Recipe source: Bon Appetit (August 1990)

Steps:
- To make the tartar sauce: (see note above for short cut) Place yolks (or egg beaters), 1 tablespoon oil, lemon juice, mustard and cayenne in food processor or blender and blend or process to combine. With machine running add the remaining oil (7 tablespoons) and process until thick. Transfer tartar sauce to a small bowl and stir in remaining sauce ingredients (green onions - salt. (*sauce can be prepared two days ahead and refrigerated).
- To prepare bread for sandwiches: using a long serrated knife, cut loaves in half length-wise. Remove centers from each half, leaving a 1-inch shell. Place bread centers in clean processor or blender and using on/off turns, process until crumbs are fine. Transfer to pie dish or medium bowl and stir in dry breadcrumbs.
- To prepare oysters: set up three pie dishes or bowls for dipping. Pie dish 1: whisk eggs and milk together in dish, set aside. Pie dish 2: pour in flour and set aside. Pie dish 3: bread crumbs.
- Season oysters with salt and pepper and then dredge in flour, patting off excess, dip in egg mixture and then roll in the breadcrumbs. Repeat for all oysters (or see note above and use other or a combination of shell fish) and then refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Place bread halves on cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Heat oil in skillet or deep fryer to 375°F.
- Deep fry oysters in batches until crisp and golden brown, turning occasionally (3-5 minutes). Remove with slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- To make sandwiches: spread the tartar sauce (see note above in description) on insides of each bread half, sprinkle with lettuce over the bottom halves and then top with tomato slices and finally top with oysters. Cover loaves with top halves of the bread. Cut each loaf into thirds.

SAN FRANCISCO OYSTER LOAF
This recipe has a Southern US tradition, but I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and I can remember my mother talk about how the butter would squirt from the loaves that Grandad would bring home from Fisherman's Wharf. I don't know how close this is to what Grandad brought home, but it sure is good! Being comfort food, use butter or don't bother.
