What's the trick to getting the batter to stick to the oysters?

Love fried oysters, but could never get a batter to work on them. :shrug: Always got them at the oyster festival, but I didn't make it this year.

You might have better luck using a dry breading, try this:
Crush saltine crackers and corn flakes. Combine with flour, S&P, Old Bay and red pepper. Dredge the oysters and place on a baking sheet. Pop them in the freezer for about 10 to 15 minutes to firm-up, then fry.
Rose Red's favorite!!!

Oh I did say batter didn't I - meant just about everything you mentioned but I've never tried the freezer before - should the oil be a certain temperature also?
I'm having everyone over for dinner on Tuesday and they all like oysters so I'm having stuffed ham, oysters, I don't know what else - sweet potatoes maybe isn't that what they do at the church suppers? I've fried oysters before but they ALWAYS end up this big ugly mess that only I will eat (and do with beer).

I've always just drained the oysters then dredged them through old school pancake mix that comes in 5# bags. Definitely NOT the Aunt Jemima just add water mix. Then drop them in the oil.
Those are fritters aren't they? That might be my last resort - I've never screwed them up.

That's just how we fry them, the breading ends up being very flaky. Good stuff.

Around 350 degrees. Make sure the oil is up to temperature and don't try to fry to many at a time. Adding to many drops the temperature and overcrowds them. If the oil starts getting funky, drain and start with fresh oil.

Don't drain the snot, dip them in egg wash then coat them in cracker meal with a little salt, pepper, old bay and cayene (sp?) pepper (or you can use a different spicy seasoning).
Fry in oil until golden brown
