Fried Oysters

To make the slaw, place the cabbage, red onion, carrots, and cucumber in a bowl under running water for 10 minutes. Drain well. Remove the cucumber slices and reserve. Mix the vegetables and refrigerate the slaw until ready to use.

To make the tartar sauce, combine the mayonnaise, capers, cornichons, chives, and egg in a bowl and mix well. Season to taste with lemon juice and salt.

To make the oysters, heat a deep fryer or pan filled with oil 4 inches deep to 325°F. Line a tray with paper towels.
