Liquid dip before battering catfish?
 

I used to work for a catfish restaurant in the 80's and prior to battering the catfish, they would dip the fish in a liquid for a few minutes...From what I remember it was am orange/yellow thin liquid with lots of spices floating around. Family is, of course, tight lipped about the ingredients to this day!


Does anyone have something like this they use?

Sounds like a egg and buttermilk wash with added spices.

I put eggs, milk and hot sauce. It looks kind of yellow/orange in color.
