oysters are one of the specialties of coastal fujian. the fried oyster fritter is a signature snack made with fresh oysters and sweet potato starch as its core ingredients.
the main ingredients are combined with egg, julienned vegetables like carrots and onions, and seasonings such as five-spice powder and salt to form a batter. it is then pan-fried in hot oil until golden brown on both sides. the final fritter is crispy on the outside and tender and succulent within.
