The Ultimate Tailgate Bracket Round 1, Deep-Fried Region: (6) Fried Oysters vs. (11) Beignets

The best seafood po’boy topping versus our only deep-fried desert.

No. 6 Fried Oyster

Honestly, aside from the whole soft-shelled crab, I'm not sure I enjoy a single bite of fried seafood more than a good fried oyster. Cornmeal batter, hot oil. Get that sucker nice and sealed and crispy on the outside, with a juicy, briney center.

No. 11 Beignets

How about we make some dough, dunk it in MORE hot oil, get it good and crispy on the outside, but fluffy and chewy on the inside. Then cover it in powdered sugar. If you're breakfast tailgating, your guests will most certainly thank you.
