About Fast foods, oysters, battered or breaded, and fried

These are oysters dipped in batter or breading and deep-fried — the crisp fried oysters served in po'boys, baskets and seafood platters. Raw or steamed oysters are famously lean and loaded with zinc and vitamin B12; battering and frying keeps the minerals but adds a crisp, oil-rich coating that roughly doubles the calories.

Per 100 grams they provide about 265 calories, with 9 grams of protein, 12.9 grams of fat and 28.7 grams of carbohydrate from the batter. Cholesterol is around 78 milligrams and sodium about 487 milligrams per 100 grams. As with most fried seafood, a large share of those calories comes from the batter and absorbed oil rather than the oysters themselves.

Oysters are one of the best food sources of zinc, and fried versions still carry that benefit, but the batter and frying oil make them far more calorie-dense than oysters on the half shell. Enjoy them as an occasional treat; note too that frying cooks the oysters through, which removes the raw-shellfish safety concern that pregnant, elderly or immunocompromised people are warned about with raw oysters.
