What tools do I need to fried oysters?

[EvanSeeker]

I'm eager to try frying oysters at home. What tools do I need for the process? Are there any special utensils or equipment that can make it easier? Any tips would be super helpful! Thanks a bunch!

I think a deep fryer or a heavy-duty skillet is a must, though I prefer a cast iron for that even heat.

When frying oysters, I always have a thermometer with me. It helps me keep the oil at the right temperature (350°F to 375°F) when I'm using a frying pan.
