To start, they are not like the oysters you find in the ocean. They are in fact buffalo or bull testicles. The animals are castrated, usually at a young age, they then take the testicles and peel them coat them in flour, pepper and salt. They are then pounded flat and deep fried and served as an appetizer.

Rocky Mountain oysters are commonly bull or sheep testicles. They are oftentimes sliced, battered and deep-fried, and include a dipping sauce to enhance the flavor. Rocky Mountain oysters may be a rare find, depending on your location, but if you can get past the idea of eating testicles, give them a try.
