Lots of good ways to fry fish. Main thing is to not overcook them.

I am not a big fan of Louisiana blue bag. Too heavy on the corn meal for my preference. Having said that I will gladly eat some and enjoy it if someone is cooking.

I like to cut the fish in slender strips or small nuggets. Coat the fish with a hot sauce and mustard. Not too much though as it can make the batter clump up. I then season the fish lightly with your preferred cajun seasoning. I then batter and fry. I like my crisp but not fried to hard.

I like Zatarains seasoned with lemon or Zatarains southern style if you prefer a bit more crunch. Usually rotate between those 2.

I’ve tried all the bagged breadings and my favorite hands down in Zatarain’s seasoned. It has just the right amount of corn flour for the crunch but not too much. And it’s not heavily seasoned so it works for a crowd. I’m not a fan of Louisiana blue bag.

I usually cut the filets into strips/nuggets. Usually 4-5 pieces for a full size filet. Soak in milk and hot sauce for at least 30 mins then toss in the breading and fry at 375.
