Fried Fish
 

I heard from a buddy the other day of a way he fries fish. Sounds interesting.
He takes a bottle of Louisiana Hot Sauce and pours it ina bowl
Then takes a bottle of Mustard and mixes it with the hotsauce
The takes his fish and dips each side of the fish in the sauce and the into batter, then fries.
He swears it takes like a Hooters wing but only fish.
Sounds interesting. Imma have to try I will let you know. One dude that ate it sweared it was the best fish he ever ate. Gonna have to see if thats true, cause Hooters wings are the bomb. HAHAHA

I do mine that way sometimes....especially on catfish filets!!

for batter, use bisquick pancake mix and seasoning

love it with the hot sauce and louisiana fish fry, not to keen on the mustard...:D

I put louisiana hot sauce, mustard, and some tonys. Then some crispy southern fish fry.

We mix a medium jar of sliced jalapenos and a medium jar mustard together. Run your fish thru that then batter. Batter and fry the jalapeno slices also. they're pretty good and not very hot when they're done, something in the frying takes some of the heat out. ::SK

Before I use the fish fry, I coat the filets in buttermilk. It keeps the meat moist.

A guide told me he learned from a restaurant to soak the fish for 3-4 hours in ranch dressing and then use the coated fish as is to fry - in other words, straight from the ranch to a half flour/half cornmeal batter.

I tried this and it is unbelievable!! Have had multiple people tell me it is the best fish they have ever eaten. I started making this with Texas Ranch, basically ranch with hot sauce and it is fantastic!!

my friend does that then when they come out of the grease he puts em on a bed of fresh cut onion man o man that is some good ish

man...this is turning out to be a grood thread...great ideas...

Yep thats how I do my trout and white perch when I can catch them

Crispy southern fish fry- hands down best!

Mustard and LA Hot Sauce are a surefire hit. I'm not sure that they taste much like Hooter's wings but, that's all in the eye of the consumer.

Blondie, you really don't taste too much of mustard. I can't stand mustard on anything else.

I learned this trick from a bonafied coona$$. We use it on froglegs and all now days. It acts as a great way to make a batter stick and adds a slight kick for flavor.

and makes it crisper

I will try this next time I fry fish....

gonna try it tonight. LA hotsauce and mustard, then dip in flour.....


wow! put the cat out!.... it's gonna get ugly!!!!!!!

the mustard also helps take the strong fishiness taste out

Mustard is for Hotdogs and Hamburgers.:shaking:
Cold filets, Zatarans seasoning, Tobassco just before running them through some Zataran's krispy fish fry.
Only fry in peanut oil at 300 degrees.;)

I'll put mustard on it...as long as it isn't caked on...my brother likes to cake that crap on and it's like glow in the dark yellow:*****: a light layer is ok though...
