Frying fish for Easter Sunday. Bass and speckled trout.

Not a big fan of the mustard batter, but I'm open to all methods.

Louisiana fish fry (seasoned)

Mustard sometimes

Always thin & crispy.

Sprinkle with Nunu's seasoning

What kind of fish you want?

Like catfish down here, or cod up north? Tempura?

You can fry it anyway you like.



I do like letting them soak in some crab boil first. Gives them a little extra kick.

Go light on the mustard and keep the hot sauce. It won't have that rock hard mustard crust but will still have the hot sauce heat with a touch of tang.

Do half seasoned batter and half corn meal. Cuts down on over saltiness.

Yep.


And it all really comes down to what kind of batter he wants to use.

Buttermilk and hotsauce for marinade. Season a little and I like the unseasoned Louisiana fish fry. I season with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Works for me. Ultimate fry= lard... If not available I like peanut oil. Trout are delicate be easy with them and don't over cook..

Mustard and hotsauce. Then into wonderful fish fry if cooking specks. I add my own seasoning because I find the seasoned fish fry too salty.

I like them thin, also. I don't soak, but I keep them very cold until time to fry and I also drain no racks rather than paper towels.

I recently stopped the eggwash. Now, I just put in ice water, then go straight to Zatarain's Crispy Southern Fish Fry. Crispy and delicious.

Last time I fired a limit of specks, I did it this way, some with mustard & Hotsauce and some with standard eggwash. The ice water version was the best.
