Flour, corn meal, spices. If you can't do that get someone else to fry the food.

By no means am I a fried food expert, but I find most mixes to be too heavy in corn meal, so I usually just do the same, and mix my own, but then I see the same thing in premixed cake mixes and pancake or biscuit mixes as well. I already have the components on hand in my pantry, and ratios are quite easily come by. It just ends up being paying for convenience and packaging for me, and in fish fry mixes I can lessen the amount of corn meal and amp up the spices if I like, plus put freshly ground spices in it. If you don't have that on hand, or it's just some quick get it done thing I get it. It's just a little too much corn meal. Oysters fine, but not for fish, shrimp, okra, or gator even IMO.
