Buttermilk. Then seasoned cornmeal. Fry at 350-360.

Less corn meal, more corn flour. But I'm in the minority here. Harvest's brand here in prairieville is good and there is another one at LeBlancs that is good but can't think of the name right now.

Eggwash with a little lemon juice and seasoning.

Usually catfish. Would tilapia be different?

I don't even use cornmeal. Strictly unseasoned corn flour that I season myself.

Catfish trimmed and cut in thin filets and covered with Louisiana fish fry in the blue bag. Perfect fried fish

Anyone ever batter with barbecue sauce? Some folks in my family don't like spicy.

Soak fillets in ice water, cover in louisiana fish fry, drop in oil, enjoy. The ice water makes the taste of the fish stand out more, imo

Soak mine in cold beer (sometimes w/a little yellow mustard mixed in) for a little while. Then into 50/50 cornmeal/corn flour I season myself. Hot oil. Cool/drain on wire rack. Enjoy!

Yellow Mustard and Louisiana Hot Sauce. Dip in cream meal(in between corn meal and corn flour), fry at 375.

I highly recommend Guidry's fish fry if you can get it. It's the best store bought, corn meal based fish fry available. We had a cook off using all the fish fry's available at a local store(I think it was about 10 different ones) and Guidry's was favored by a pretty wide margin.
Quaker Corn Meal ranked pretty high too surprisingly enough. It had a very large, crispy grain and the flavor was mild enough to not overpower the fish.
