Fish fry

[guywhofishes]

I forgot, lots of lemon wedges!

Do you get a stern talking to when you forget to serve them?

I sure hope so.

Mrs. KDM makes her own starting with original shore lunch, adds corn flour, and super secret seasonings. It's not icky.

Grandpa Don's Fish Breading is the best I've tried. It's made in Fargo and available online and in a lot of stores in ND and MN.

What's a good fryer to use?

The Butterball Turkey Fryer. You'll love it--no mess, perfect temperature control.

I recently tried malt vinegar and am a fan.

Wish you'd post more like back in the day.

Shore Lunch. Either the beer batter or Cajun.

I prefer a 50/50 blend of beer batter and Cajun.

Retirement keeps me too busy to post much anymore.

If'n you want to crispy it up, add some bread crumbs. I mostly use Italian, but there are others with different flavors.

Coat damp fillets in Dotz (they sell pre-crumbled), coat with a mix of egg and half and half, then dredge them again through the Dotz crumbs.

I shake fillets in a ziplock for the 1st coat and have a shallow bowl for the 2nd. I'm going to try adding buttermilk rather than half and half sometime this summer too.

 

[PrairieGhost]

I like the flavor of walleye. Thin coat of flower and fry in butter.

 

[gillraker]

I coat my filets in thin layer of sour cream or sometimes yellow mustard, then dredge in finely ground up Ritz crackers, then into peanut oil fryer. They get really crispy, almost like fried chicken. Have tried the Franks Red Hot instead of sour cream or yellow mustard but wasn't a fan, its a thing down South I guess...

x2!!! This stuff is awesome! Meats by John and Wayne or Fargo Bait and Tackle has it!

Cast iron pan.

The best tasting fish that I remember is my Mom rolling them in flour with salt and pepper. And fried in butter in a cast iron frying pan.

That was good fish. We ate many bullheads back in the day.

 

[LBrandt]

Shore lunch with some Bisquit added. Make sure at 350 and dont overload so temp stays up close. LB

 

[Rut2much]

Grandpa dons, lousiana fish fry, and shore lunch.. Grandpa dons can be found at woodland resort as well FYI. A must try!

 

[Allen]

The reality is I use a wide variety of commercially available batters and coatings as they are all tasty and variety is the spice of life.


And for whatever reason, I still add a goodly amount of italian bread crumbs.
