Zatarans or Louisiana fish fry
Which do you prefer for frying up catfish or sacalait. Also, If you have a homemade recipe, let's hear it!
I typically just use LA fish fry with a little Tonys dropped straight in peanut oil at 350-375. Taken em out after 4-5 minutes usually.

Re: Zatarans or Louisiana fish fry
I prefer straight cornmeal with a little Tony's or something similar after they come out the grease.

Re: Zatarans or Louisiana fish fry
If you are dead set on store bought try house autry or mrs. Sylvia's. They are about the best I've found. I generally just use cornmeal with salt, pepper, and Cayenne.

Re: Zatarans or Louisiana fish fry
I also like a light coat of mustard and Louisiana hot sauce on my fish before they go in the cornmeal

Re: Zatarans or Louisiana fish fry
I use the unseasoned Louisiana fish fry. I season my fish with Louisiana hot sauce, salt, pepper, light squeeze of lemon and a little mustard. I always fry at exactly 350 degrees. I do not like a strong lemon taste.

Re: Zatarans or Louisiana fish fry
I make my own. We tried using the store bought fish fry for a while and couldn't do it on count of all the salt.
2 cups corn meal 2 tbsp Tony's. 2 tbsp black pepper 1-1.5 tbsp salt (depending on how salty you want it).

Re: Zatarans or Louisiana fish fry
I am surprised that more do not use corn flour mixed with corn meal.
I have always coated with a mustard, milk and egg mixture. Heat and salt to taste. Mix the corn flour with corn meal one to one at first, if you like what corn flour does, increase it next time.
I like my fish thin cut when frying. Only like a slab when baked or broiled. I find that corn flour will get dark faster when frying. But if you like thin cut, it should not mater all that much.

Re: Zatarans or Louisiana fish fry
We used yellow mustard a few times but I was too salty for our taste. Now we use spicy brown mustard.

Re: Zatarans or Louisiana fish fry
I've never tried it with fish, but honey mustard on ducks instead of an egg wash is the bomb.com

Re: Zatarans or Louisiana fish fry
It depends on the fish to what i use. If its bass or crappie i use cornmeal with about 1/3 flour, catfish its just cornmeal. Sometimes I'll coat the fish in old bay then batter and fry.

Zatarans or Louisiana fish fry
Half flour half corn meal, garlic, paprika, cayenne, black pepper mix. I salt the fish before breading. Then I finish it up with some original Pillsbury biscuits.

Re: Zatarans or Louisiana fish fry
Louisiana chicken fry and egg/milk wash makes fish and frog legs really good.

Re: Zatarans or Louisiana fish fry
We Cook the biscuits after the fish is done. Let your grease cool to about 275-300 it only takes a minute or 2. Cheaper the can biscuits the better, then dip in honey or cover with powdered sugar.

Re: Zatarans or Louisiana fish fry
You will eat a whole can by yourself if you're not careful. I like em when they're still piping hot with honey on every bite
