I make up my own mix using CLUB crackers as they are more buttery tasting, then add lemon pepper and garlic salt not just regular salt and pepper, I then will add either a italian seasoning or I also like a spinach and herb mix my wife buys from pampered chef. The key is to mix and season then mix it and season again. A meat seasoning also is good, but try different combo to your own taste. If it is never the same remember variety is good in food, as long as it is fresh fish!

A new idea to us. Have tied all the various batters, egg, beer etc, but with some fresh Cod pieces last night we soaked the fish in ButterMilk, put in the refrig for a half hour or so and then into the bag which we had Shore Lunch and some bread crumb mix & then into the pan. Noticed two things, the breading seemed to hold during the cooking process much better and best of all a really great flavor.

A bunch of great recipes and ideas for batter and coatings for fish. I'll toss my mixture in. Generally I use a tube of ritz crackers, a cup of yellow corn meal, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, (corstarch is the key ingredient for mixture to stick to fish) and season to your liking. Mix all dry ingredients together. Dredge fish in beaten eggs and coat in dry mixture. Usually fry the fish in vegetable oil.

Had a friend up last year from Louisiana and we had some crappie fillets and he wanted to cook, so he starts fillin a ziplock with mustard and I'm thinking.. Don't ruin'em. He squished them around until coated, pulled them out with a fork into dry mix then into pan. Never even touched them. and they were great. Try it on one fillet, no strong mustard taste either kinda mild. we used Shore lunch regular flavor. I'm going to have to try some of your dry mixes now they look really good.
