re: Should I mustard my trout before going into the Fish-Fri?

Any way you do it is correct. I fry trout all the time and do whatever I'm in the mood for.

I fried some the other night dipped in crystal sauce and shaken in my batter bowl with straight cornmeal and I didn't hear any complaints.

I like to put garlic powder in the cornflour on occasion and sometime a good bit of black pepper.

I like a tartar sauce and ketchup or just straight up.
