Zats is too salty for me. I use Louisiana.

for catfish: cut thin and fry in cornmeal only. season with mustard and your choice of seasoning. when they come out of the grease, sprinkle the fillets with a little lemon juice while they are extremely hot.


for everything else, I use zats lemon fish fry

Batter-Anything not seasoned. Liquid Batter- mustard, egg , or hot sauce, or all three. i cant tell much difference anyway. I like to add a cap of liquid crab boil to mine. And hot grease, ~400

Agreed on the Zatarains seasoned with lemon.

Also do the hot sauce/mustard combo with ice cold fish.

I stay away from Zats as well because of the salt content.

Gotta get the one with the lemon added.

I use the blue bag for shitty catfish.

I can use anything for decent fish. With hot fresh oil it always comes out good. I don't use mustard for specks. Get them ice cold and run though whatever. Although Trout Bandit turned me on to a beer batter that is my favorite for tacos and if I'm not cooking 20 lbs of fish.

I have been using Mr. Pete's lately. It is made in the houma area and is a seasoned fish fry with a corn flour base. I prefer corn flour to corn meal as i don't like the texture of the meal.

Commercial product like Zats or whatever you have on hand and add cheap beer. Thick enough to coat but not clump. Cold fish goes into wet batter then straight into oil. Very clean and delicious.

ETA: And look below because I missed the SRF. Big fan.

AHD

Use 1/2 corn flour based fish fry(like yellow LA Fish Fry or Zat's Seasoned) with 1/2 self rising white flour. Add beer until it's pretty thin. Dip your fish in and fry em up. The S/R flour and beer will cause it to puff up and get crispy crispy. Really delicious.

Gots to give Trout props on the fish.
and if he didn't cook it and it was good, he'd still take the credit if the TV camera is around.
