Never in my life have I seen or heard of anyone eating fish fins, so yeah, it's a serious question.

I don't like the all cornmeal fry either.

1. get fish extremely cold in ice bath

2. Hot sauce and mustard mix rubbed on fish

3. Season the fish directly

4. Zatarains seasoned with lemon or yellow bag Louisisna fish fry

5. Don't dredge the filets until right before they go into the pot

6. Don't overcrowd pot

7. Don't over cook. Common mistake.

8. Wire rack to drain

People fight over them. They are crispy crunchy seasoned deliciousness. Try them at your next opportunity. I like the thinner ones. Sometimes, the ones that are too thick are hard to eat. I can't imagine not trying, though!

No mustard. I am not opposed to it, but I like it better without. I like both Zatarains fish fry and seasoned cornmeal. I like the texture of the cornmeal myself. I am like Gris Gris, the tails are the first thing eaten when eating whole fried.

Battering what yankees do in Maryland and mustard is for corndogs and sandwiches.

I agree, when I eat whole fried fish I eat the end if the tail. It's like a crunchy fish potato chip.

Seasoned corn flour here. I'll eat cornmeal but MUCH prefer corn flour
cornflour is the way to go. oysters work better with cornmeal, but fish and shrimp should be cooked with cornflour.
