Gather all ingredients.

Heat oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Combine flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl. Place eggs in another bowl. Place bread crumbs in a third bowl.

Dredge oysters in flour mixture, then dip in egg and roll in bread crumbs to coat thoroughly.

Cook oysters, 5 at a time, in hot oil until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve hot.
