Take white perch fillets and dry them buy laying flat on a towel or paper towel, take one bottle of Louisiana hot sauce and pour all in a bowl, 5 pounds of corn flour and mix with one 8oz bottle of Tony's.

Put fillets in La hot sauce and mix until all fish is well coated. Take fillets and dredge them in the dry mix until well coated, gently shake, and put in 350 oil until done.

The La hot sauce adds virtually no spice but just a hint and makes the coating really crispy.

Dredge in straight yellow mustard.
Coat with corn meal that I season with salt, black pepper and cayenne.
Deep fry in peanut oil.

The real trick to good fried fish is to make sure the oil is hot again before you add the next batch. Cold oil equals soggy fried food.

I used to use a lot of mustard but got burned out on it. Now I keep it simple.

egg wash then dipped in mix of half flour half cornmeal. Season with salt and squeeze of lemon.

If it’s speckeled Trout, it doesn’t need mustard. If I’m doing red fish or catfish, I do a mixture of mustard, hot sauce and cut it with beer.

Seasoned Crispy Southern fish fry. I cut the fillets into strips. Make sure they’re a little wet.

Keys to great fried fish:

Use a damn thermometer and make sure the oil is 375 (it will drop to 350 when you drop in fillets)

Don’t overcrowd the oil. I put a sheet pan with a wire rack in my oven and heat it to 180. Fry in small batches and it will keep warm and crispy in the oven.

Lastly, and in my opinion, most important, don’t bread the fish until right before it will go into the grease. If you do it ahead of time, it gets “doughy”.

Buttermilk, egg and about 3-4 tbs of hot sauce mixed well.

Let the fish sit in that for a little while.

3 parts flour
1 part corn meal
Salt
Pepper
Decent amount of Tony’s.

Pull fish out of buttermilk, coat well in mix and put in hot oil.

I've also used the Southern Crispy mix. works well.

I usually dip them in heavy whipping cream. I've gotten away from mustard when frying trout.
