Step 1
Mix flour, cornstarch, cayenne, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl.
Step 2
Pat oysters dry with paper towels. Working in batches, coat each oyster in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
Step 3
Heat 2 inches of neutral oil in a heavy skillet to 350°F, about 5 minutes. Water flicked on the surface should sizzle immediately.
Step 4
Fry oysters in a single layer until golden and crispy, 2–3 minutes per batch. Lift onto a paper towel.
Step 5
Split and lightly toast the hoagie rolls. Whisk mayo and hot sauce together, then spread on both halves.
Step 6
Layer lettuce and tomato on the bottom roll, top with crispy oysters, cap with the top roll, and serve immediately.
