Anyone know of any good recipes that are similar to Shore Lunch???

[Ronsay]

I use Krusteaz Buttermilk Pancake Mix with lemon pepper and salt mixed in. If you deep fry just add beer to it.

I always soak my fillets in salt water for 45 minutes, and then give them a good rinse in fresh water. This will take out any slime or blood you may miss while cleaning, and I think it gives the fish a better flavor.

Thanks Ron! That sounds yummy and I'm going to give it a try! :-)

I havent ever seen a better batter than Chef Roberts, absolutely dynomite!

[Finns]

2 parts flour, 2 parts yellow corn meal and one part Cavender's Greek Seasoning. Wash fillets in beer, shake off excess, throw in plastic bag with the dry mix, shake off excess and cook in hot oil. Easy as can be.

[FOOT]

Flour, garlic powder, pepper, finely chopped onions - Mix together.

Dip fillets in milk and then in the flour mixture.

Fry until they start flaking.

Another receipe

butter sheet of tin foil

place fillet on tin foil

lightly sprinkle with lemon pepper

place non-cooked onion rings over fillets (not too many)

bake at 350 for 15 minutes

open and enjoy

The key is to not over season or over coat your walleye fillets. Less is more, enjoy the taste of the walleye.

In fact, I would think soaking your fillets in salt water for 45 minutes would remove all of the walleye taste. I never over wash my fillets, don't need to they're great as they are.

I like using Ritz crackers (crushed with a rolling pin)mixed with a little flour and ad seasoning to your tastes.

[Seabass77]

Wash fillets in beer or egg, mix into plastic bag of 1 part corn meal, 2 parts kellogs corn flake crumbs. Salt and pepper to taste. Do what you can to have your oil at 270.

1 part corn meal, 1 part flour, 1 tspn baking powder. Add cold milk mixing till its very thin. Salt and pepper to taste. Great for deep frying walleye fillets.

For a quick fry recipe take 2 cups fry majic add 1/8 cup lawery seasoning salt, mix well in a gal. baggie, soak fish in milk for 3 or 4 min., shake off excess milk, throw pieces in baggie, shake,and fry, I use veg. oil with a generous wad of butter flavor crisco in it. the oil is hot enough to fry in when, you drop a drop of water in the pan and jumps around on top of the oil. I fill the pan with 1 1/2 ins. oil.

[stillhunter]

this is one I have used for years, of my own design. Unfortunately I am one of those cooks that does not measure so you will have to season to taste. The mix freezes well in a zip-lock for the next time so don't be afraid to make plenty. And it is CHEAP

equal parts of white flour, whole wheat flour & corn meal. Seasoning salt and lemon pepper to taste ( I would guess about 1Tb of each seasoning per cup of the flour mix) I dip filets in milk and "press" the mix into the filet w/ my hand..turning and repeating on each side. Fry in hot (350degree min.) canola/vegetable oil. For a treat add a slab of bacon grease to the oil.

Have had people that claim to be non fish eaters (gasp!) state that this fish is good, and not greasy.

Enjoy!

I use Saltines (Also have used Corn Flakes, Ritz) in a ziplock crushed with a rolling pin, then add pepper, garlic salt, a little dash of lowery's, maybee some lemon pepper. You can put in any type of seasoning here (Cajun is good). Crack an egg into a bowl and stir, soak fillets in egg. Put oil in pan an PREHEAT the oil untill it spatters when you flick a wet finger over the oil. Fry untill golden brown. Squirt lemon over fillets and BAM! To kick them up a notch put your favorite hot sauce into either the egg mixture or lightly over cooked fillets.

Try soaking your fillets in buttermilk in a covered dish for 20 minutes before coating. It's the best.

[gman2002]

i got this one off here awhile back and it's the best i've had so far ! coat fillets with shore lunch ' dip in egg then roll in potato flakes' fry till crispy. squeeze a little lemon over and crack a beer. better than s** ?

[rendso]

A good one that I use is called Drakes Batter Mix. But I use it as a Flour. Soak fish in ice water, remove freome water and shake them in a baggie with Drakes. fry until golden brown

As you can see by all the previous posts, there are a lot of good frying recipes out there.

I have tried many of them. Hard to find a bad one.

Basically, it is a matter of experimenting with the wet wash, beer, milk, water etc. and the dry mix ingredients until you find your favorites.

I like corn flake crumbs with a lot of cayenne pepper in the dry mix, but it is all a matter of prefernce.

Finding a tartar and coctail sauce recipe that suites you is also important.

[catfish1]

I agree with you about the personel favorite of wet and dry mix and seasoning. I have used the corn flake and cayenne pepper before and really liked it. I have a habit of using alot of cayenne pepper. And the Louisiana hot sauce is another one I use alot of.

Catfish1, you could fry fish for me anytime I'm sure. If you like a lot of cayenne and hot sauce, I'm at your table smilin'.

I checked your site. Nice job.

Sorry, I forgot to sign the guest book.

[catfish1]

Bait956; Thank you, I do love to cook and when I go to gathering (family or others) I usually try to cook up a different recipe each day so who ever has a chance to try fish in a different way. Some people never have that chance. And it is fun to see the different responces. For an exsample of this my family is go to have a gathering at Red Rock Dam in Iowa this summer and Each day we will grill out and I will make a small sample of fish as a side dish. Later

Can't believe no one has mentioned Fishing Fever All Purpose Fish Batter "Seasoned". It by far the best dry batter I have ever used. Go to the Grand Rapids site and find a post by Jason Boser, go to his link and you can order it direct, you will NOT be disappointed, it is his own mix for his clients shore lunch. Yum Yum

potato buds work good also

[Tripleplay]

I always have a bag of Shorelunch in the freezer-stoked up with potato buds for extra crunch and then "kicked up" with Old Bay seasoning. (Old Bay is the eastern seasoning that you'll get in crab boils and such)

Also when the fish is just out of the oil my wifes family has always sprinkled a little Lawry's seasoning salt on the hot fish. I can take it or leave it but my kids and wife prefer their fish this way so I usually do it.

Another one that I like:

After rinsing fillets in water, combine 1 part flour to 2 parts parmesan cheese (grated stuff in a jar). Coat the fillets in the mixture, season with salt and pepper and then fry in oil. Once the cheese starts to brown, they should be good to go. Add some lemon juice and enjoy!
