  20      ounces        shucked medium oysters
     2/3  cup           all-purpose flour
     2/3  cup           saltine cracker crumbs
   1      teaspoon      black pepper
   2                    eggs
   2      tablespoons   Dijon mustard
                        vegetable oil
   1                    pan alder smoking chips
                        tarter sauce or bottled
                        honey mustard dressing
 

Preparation:

Rinse oysters and drop into boiling water. Bring to a boil again and boil for 3 minutes. Rinse again in cold water and smoke for 45 minutes. While oysters are smoking whisk egg with mustard in a small bowl. Combine cracker crumbs, pepper and flour in a pie plate. When the oysters have finished smoking roll them in the flour/cracker mixture and set on a plate. Next dip the oysters in the egg/mustard mixture and roll in the flour/cracker mixture again and return to the plate. Pour a film of oil into a 12 inch skillet and heat over medium-high heat until a cube of bread is golden in 20 seconds. Add oysters to pan (it's OK to crowd oysters, but don't overlap) and cook until golden on bottom, about 2 minutes. Turn and brown other side, about 2 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges and bottled honey mustard dressing or tarter sauc
