fish frying tip

[leechlake]

At 46 years old and years of frying fish I figured I had it down pat. Last year a few of my newer fishing buddy's and I were cooking some walleye and instead of taking the fried fish off and putting them on a plate with paper towels or merely a plate they used a cookie cooling rack with paper towels under it. I didn't get it but they swore it kept them crisp even after they sat their for a while. The were 100% correct and I've added this new found tip to my arsenal.

With walleye opener looming I figured I'd mention it and suggest you give it a whirl. You may never do it the old way.

That is a great tip. Need to add that one to my checklist.

Its a tip from restaurants, they do this quite a bit especially if they put food under a heat lamp for a little bit.

So then how do you keep them hot? When I do the fried fish on paper towels and a plate, I normally cover with another plate to keep them hot, and even plan for a little 'standing time' on the plate to finish them off. Maybe not crispy but good!!!!!!!!

I fried up 35 devil's lake perch for the super bowl this year and we kept them hot in the oven on rack @190*....... Yes, no one really watched the game, we just ate
