FRIED OYSTERS WITH CHIPOTLE-LIME REMOULADE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix the onions and lime zest and juice, and let marinate for 10 minutes. Purée the chipotle peppers and adobo sauce in a blender or small food processor. Mix 2 Tbs. chipotle purée (more to taste) and the mayonnaise, scallions, and garlic into the onions and refrigerate until ready to use. This can be made up to 1 day ahead.
• Attach a deep-fry thermometer to a 4-quart heavy-duty saucepan. Add the oil (it should measure about 3/4 inch deep) and heat over medium-high heat to 370°F.
• Meanwhile, stir together the cornflour, Old Bay, and 1 tsp. salt in a pie plate. Dredge 12 of the oysters in the cornflour. Fry the oysters, turning once with a slotted spoon, until golden and crisp, about 2 minutes. The oil temperature will drop when you add the oysters, so raise the heat to high as they cook. (Don't worry if it doesn't go all the way back up to 370°F while they're cooking.) Transfer the oysters to a paper towel-lined plate. Reheat the oil to 370°F, and repeat with the remaining oysters. Serve with the remoulade on the side.

FRIED OYSTERS WITH CHIPOTLE-LIME DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Drain the oysters, reserving 1/4 cup of the liquid. Pat the oysters dry.
• In a bowl, mix together the egg, buttermilk and reserved oyster liquid. In another bowl or a plate, stir together the crushed saltines and the cornmeal. Add to both the egg mixture and the breading mixture a sprinkle of salt, black pepper and cayenne, to taste.
• In batches, dip the oysters into the breading, then into the eggs and then back into the breading again. Place breaded oysters on a large plate or sheet. Repeat until all the oysters are coated.
• In a large, heavy skillet heat 1/2 inch of oil on medium heat until it reaches 350 degrees. Cook the oysters for 2 to 3 minutes, turning once, until the fried oysters are light brown. Depending on the size of your skillet, you will probably have to do in several batches. Drain on paper towels.
• To make the chipotle-lime dipping sauce, mix together the finely chopped chipotle, adobo sauce, mayonnaise, cilantro lime juice, and cumin. Taste and add salt, and adjust seasonings.
• Serve the oysters with the sauce and sliced limes.
