Fried Catfish Recipe - Help

[rtread]

It's amazing the things you can learn here on the green screen!

Even though I love Cajun cuisine, I'd never heard of the mustard coating procedure that I read about in this thread. So I just prepared some flounder fillets smearing them with spicy brown mustard then coating them with yellow corn meal I had spiced up with salt, pepper and Tony Chachere's creole seasoning. They are outstanding!

Not long ago I got into the fish tacos....had never had them either. Thanks for the good tips!

My grandmother soaks her fish in regular mustard and seasoning salt and then rolls in corn meal and fries it.

My grandmother always soaked her fish in beer (Schlitz...LOL)

the key to eating fried fish is the dip, my grandma always had some good ole Mrs Butterworth syrup to dip the fish in.

Might sound nasty or crazy but if you try it you will never want fried fish again without it!!!

Its the Bomb

Mrs. Butterworth's may be good fish dip....not disputing that until I try it. But when I hear about things like that I wonder who was the first person to try it....and WHY?

I dunno my grannie was a hell of a cook and she swore by the syrup to dip her fish in, as a kid I wanted to do things just like her and she didn't lead me wrong on this one.

I have fried up fish for friends and when we get ready to eat I whip out a little syrup and have them try it, they all eat it that way now

Try it, its great!!!

She also really enjoyed cornbread crumbled in her buttermilk, thats one I never could get a hold of

I use mustard on white bass. No need for it on catfish (smaller the better) and crappie. I just season with quite a bit of red pepper and seasoned fish fry, that I cut with flour.

Don't forget after you fry it to put it in a paper grocery bag. Don't ask me why, but a friend always did this and it would just melt in your mouth. Maybe it's because you close up all the heat inside to further cook it. Hell- I dunno.

I wanted everyone for the recipe's that they gave me. I tryed dipping the fish in mustard before dipping them in the corn meal and man you talk about good. Everyone that was over at my house really like the taste of it also, I had 12 people over and I fried about 15 pound of fish and it is all gone. I should of took some pictures. Thanks for the help again.
