seasoned fish fry has way too much salt and its not always mixed well so from one bag to the next can be completely different amounts of salt in it

100% agree. I used to wonder why I wanted to drink a damn 5 gallon Kentwood jug after frying.... then I looked at the sodium content on those seasoned batters. It’s pretty outrageous

To each his own, but this would piss me off to no end. I want to taste the fish, not spices. I can just eat a raw jalapeño if I want to taste spice.


But I feel the same way about any food.

I friend showed my this years ago.

Wishbone Italian Dressing, Plain white flower, Peanut oil.

Dip fillets in Italian dressing, then flour the fry in peanut oil.

Nothing else. Very simple. Light batter great taste.

It's been almost 40 years and I have not found any method that tasted as good.

I use a dry mix. I don't think it matters which one you use, just so long as you're lightly dusting.

Dusting lightly is the key to good fried fish.

This talk of fried fish made me toss a couple redfish filets from the other day in the grease tonight. LA blue bag used, of course.

Yep we did the same today, used half blue and half red bag. Held off on the hot sauce for the lil ones. All in all it was a hit.

On a side note, anyone know of a couple of guides out of Hopedale by the name of Mike or Roger?

Louisiana Fish Fry with some Tony’s added for a little extra flavor. Dip the filets in yellow mustard, batter and fry then add a few drops of lemon juice per filet after they come out the fryer

Oak grove smokehouse fish fry is my favorite

Whatever your batter, try it with coconut oil instead of peanut or vegetable oil.

- The house won’t smell like fried food
- The oil is really easy to maintain at temperature
- It gives the food a hint of sweet aftertaste, which contrasts well with the spice

So the only coconut oil I have seen is solidified. Is this the oil you are talking about?
