thats what I meant yellow mustard

i put a little more cayenne in the fish fry but i like it spicy

With that said, I haven't had anything fried since June.

I mix up some yellow mustard, thinned just a bit, with a shitload of Louisiana hot sauce. That's my wet.

Dry is usually just Zatarain's fish fry.

I don't use an eggwash, comes out too thick, (2/3)zatarains crispy southern style, (1/3) flour seasoned to your taste.

General fish fry I like : 1 cup zatarains chicken fry (or plain flour), 1 cup corn meal, 1 cup zatarains crispy southern fish fry, season to taste with cayenne pepper

For specks I like that ^^ or something with a little more flour like Louisiana new Orleans style (by trout are oily and the batter gets wet)

Cut filets up thin, soak in ice water to get cold n firm. Mix in separate bowl some beer, mustard, and Tony's. Put filets in mustard mix (keep cold) and then batter

Most important things (u can do whatever the hell else u want before this): get the temp as hot as u can 350-375. ONLY put 8-12 pieces in at a time (depending on pot size). You do NOT want to drop the temperature of the grease down too much or too fast. Fry for a couple min and take out

As mentioned above, do yourself a favor and try the Louisiana Fish Fry "New Orleans Style" fish fry. It's amazing! I useds Zatarain's for years and always found it to be really salty. Tried the Louisiana and will never go back. There's really no other seasoning needed on the fish as this a perfect mix. Try some of the presoaks mentioned above and enjoy!

If you want to try something different.... Make a Pecan crust. Pecans in a blender with some flour or bread crumbs to keep it from getting sticky. Wet fish in egg/milk and season to your preference. Roll in pecan breading and pan fry in butter and/or olive oil. Great alternative to deep frying and taste fricken awesome!!!!

K.C.Masterpiece Lemon Pepper Marinade, Slap Ya Mama then sprinkle with Zatarains/New Orleans seasoned Fish Fry. If too salty skip the Slap Ya Mama.
I like the flour, not the cornmeal.
SPRINKLE it on, do not throw fillets in a container and shake it on, leaves too much and the fish taste chewy.

Another way I like to cook them is to pan fry as mentioned above with a butter/cream crabmeat sauce on top.

I start by soaking the filets in milk for about 15-20 minutes. I'll then batter them in a seasoned 1/2 flour 1/2 bread crumb mixture or the Louisiana "New Orleans Style" fish fry. On a medium/high heat, melt 1/2 stick of butter with a little olive oil to keep butter from burning and pan fry on both sides until golden brown.

In a separate pan, melt a stick of butter and add lump crab meat. Season with salt, pepper, and let this cook while stirring until the crabmeat is cooked down (few minutes.) Then stir in heavy whipping cream until you reach the consistency desired making sure that the butter and cream don't separate. Pour over fried filets and ENJOY!

trout are oily


Huh? No they aren't.

Ice water straight to Crispy Southern straight to 375 degree grease if just doing a fish fry. Tempura beer batter if frying for an Almondine, fish tacos, etc.

soak them bitches in egg, mustard, beer and La hot sauce. Batter in Zat's crispy southern and fry at 350. Prepare for blowjobs from your guests.
