Respect your taste. I've coated in mustard, Louisiana hot sauce or both. Change in taste profile is subtle on my palate using catfish.

Season, rub in mustard, shake in Zatarains crispy, fry dat me.

I recently tried using buttermilk and it was good. BUT not enough difference In taste to justify the mess it makes compared to mustard.





ETA: Hijack, what method do y’all use for Shrimp? I tried bisquick my last time frying and it was DEE-LICIOUS.

You add hot sauce to the mustard?

Will try next time

1/2 Louisiana fish fry & 1/2 Louisiana shrimp fry

Chill fish in ice water.

Remove and coat with La fish fry in the blue bag.

Fry in peanut or canola oil maintained at 350 degrees.
