What is the best fish fry to use? Louisiana, Zatarains.....? And Gris Gris, I know you just make up your own mixture which I thought of doing also.

Louisiana and cut it with corn meal. Add a little seasoning to taste. I also like to cut my fish in thin strips so they come out nice and crispy.

Either straight cornmeal, seasoned to taste with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and red pepper, or use fav seasoning blend to replace some or all of the salt.
Or, go 50/50 with corn flour and meal, seasoning to taste as above.

50/50 mixture of seasonedZats and flour, with a bit of Slay Ya Mama added to it, for everything but oysters. Oysters is straight up Zats to get the best coverage because of the moisture of them.

Depends what you like. Crispy, crunchy batter is achieved through corn meal. Light, flaky batter is achieved through corn flour. Most fried catfish places use cornmeal. If you like that, go with that. I prefer 75% corn flour and 25% corn meal, seasoned with your preferred creole seasoning mix (SYM, TC, etc...). Use mustard to coat the fish before the batter.

I've only found it once though

Well, really it depends on your taste in texture on the fish. I prefer it to be a light crispy crunchy crust, so I season plain cornmeal only. No batter, flour or corn flour. Cream meal is my favorite which is what Ugelsich's used, but you have to buy it in large quantities. I've never found it sold for the regular consumer.
On rare occasions on bream or similar fresh fish fried whole, I use some mustard and then the cornmeal.
