Ketchup or no ketchup on fish fry

[Mr. Sheephead]

Just had a fish fry and my buddie. He makes fun of me for using ketchup on my fish/cocktail sauce. Am I weird or do people eat fish with ketchup. My buddie made me post this.

[fishwater]

total fail.

[redseal]

and I thought I was bad for using tartar sauce.....

[broken line]

Oh my gosh....one should not have to doubt themselves about the use of ketchup! I always have the ketchup bottle nearby when there is a fish fry. I've taken some grief over the years for using ketchup on fish (and everything else) over the years, but what is one supposed to do? It's just so good with everything! Keep the bottle nearby!

[CrowRiverRat83]

I dont think youre weird at all, coming from a fellow ketchup fanatic. Haha.

[Mr. Sheephead]

If ketchup wins or a tie then my buddie can never make fun of me again.

If we're taking a vote I say your weird. I can see it if you're trying to hide some bad tasting fish.

No matter how the vote turns out if you guys are good buddies he'll always be making fun of you over something.

I personally mix ketchup and yellow mustard together and it makes an orange colored sauce. It is great on walleye and evryone that tries it really likes it. I had a friend that was going to pay me 50 dollars for my secret recipe. When I told him how I make it he didn't believe me! How ever anyone eats their fish is fine by me.

Mix ketchup, mayo, Heinz 57 sauce and sugar together. Makes a great fish sauce.

I vote for ketchup too. Broken Line and I have both got grief at the annual fish fry. I've seen his "stash" too. 6-8 64oz squeeze bottles at a time, nothing less!!! Reminds me...getting low and I was at the grocery store today. Well off the store again!

personally I don't use that much ketchup. but there is that old joke that says ketchup is a main food for people from minnesota and there is this other joke that say if you think that ketchup is a little to spicy you might be from minnesota(jeff foxworthy joke about minnesotans as posted on nitti's resort forum last year).

[The_Duckslayer]

for fresh fish I do not use it. For something like a fish sticks or breaded fish patty squares I use ketchup. I wont say there is anything wrong with ya for using it! Take care and N Joy the Hunt././Jimbo

gross!!!!!

[herefish101]

mix ketchup, mayo, and relish. it's basiclly tarter sauce but you can kick it up a notch by adjusting the amounts. mm mm good. Although most of the time i use nothing.

[Eelpout08]

Ketchup mixed with horseradish ( a little less "horsey" for the ladies ). only with leftovers, though. dont want to ruin that fresh-out-of-the-pan taste!

[Big Dave2]

No ketchup for me but you can eat your fish any way you see fit.

I will eat tartar sauce on cheap fish patties from the grocery store though.

My 9 year old son eats ketchup on almost everything, even mac and cheese!

[jcpmn82]

Ketchup on fish is acceptable if you are INBRED!!! Or under 12...

[icehousebob]

WWCED what would Clint Eastwood do? He would sure not ruin fish with ketchup. Hitlery Clinton might. Or Rosy McDonald. Or Albert Franken. The list goes on and on and on.

[Wicked_1]

I use ketchup and tarter sauce on all fish except panfish. Those I eat without and sauce.

[mabr]

Mr Sheapshead dont let him get to ya. Ketchup and Horseradish sauce is what coctail sauce is made of. My wife is just like him YOU DONT USE THAT ON WALLEYE!!!!!. She's my lil scandahouvin, has to be either mayo or tarter sauce. But us conasours of fine dinning know better LOL. I'll take ketchup and horseradish any day!!!! Or just Ketchup over tarter sauce. But then again Im a mutt German, Indian and Irish LOL.

[picksbigwagon]

Ketchup on fish? I think some else said this, only if you are under 12........

Let me guess you put ketchup on eggs too don't you?

[minnbowhunter]

ok 2 thoughts, no catsup or ketchup if you prefer, or tartar sauce, or lemon on my fish. Just fish, fried taters and a cold one for me. If you want to put it yours, go for it.

[knoppers]

I don't use ketchup on anything, I think it takes away the flavor of what you are eating. that said, I have to have tarter sauce on fish. I am not a big fan of anything that is in the seafood catagory, including fish. I catch them, then give them away.

[BrdHunter01]

ketchup for sure! I eat it with pretty much anything but def. at a fish fry

[BlueLundFishrman]

if you gonna put ketchup on fresh fish...you might as well poach too!
