Deep Fry?


Recommended Posts

I tried the Fishing Fever all purpose batter from Jason Boser and it was excellent. It was the seasoned version. I bought it at L&M Supply in Bemidji. First I patted dry the crappie fillets with paper towells, then made a batter with 2 eggs and one small can of evaporated milk. I dipped the fillets in this and then dropped them into the fishing fever dry mix to coat them. Then fried in vegetable oil at 375 for 4 minutes. Very tasty.

hey all....

we bread our fish with bisquick spiced with old bay seasoning. fry it in corn oil and they finish off a nice golden color.

also, on a trip to the NW Angle last winter, we bought some breading from the lodge. it was call fryin' magic (in a bright blue box)-it was soooo good. the best i've ever had. but i can't find it in any grocery stores. i have found fry magic (may be the other way around) and it was not anything like the one we got in the angle. has anybody seen the stuff i'm talking about?

For me it's

3/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup Corn flour
1/3 cup corn meal
3 Tbsp Old Bay
1 Tbsp Cajun Seasoning
1 beer/Carbonated Water

Mix dry ingredients. Add beer until it's a the consistancy you want(Thinner equals a lighter coating). Fry in hot oil and salt lightly after removing from oil. Also great on fried veggies.

I used to go up to a friends cabin and we ate a lot of fish up there. But he never seemed to have any flour always had eggs. we would just go through his cupboards and try what ever.we would dip the fish in the egg and then in what ever we could find to crush up.Most of the time is was some kind of cereal.
churshed cherio's were pretty good.
frosted flakes were kinda to sweet.
corn flakes worked.
rice krispies weren't to bad.
well you see where this is going.
I can't remember all the different stuff we tried. But we always ate the fish.

I've used lots of batters, from frying in flour to home-made receipes.
You all really must try "Golden Dipt" in the "fish and chips" variety. They have a bunch of different varieties, but use the fish & chips stuff with a little barley pop (beer). It's easy and absolutely delicious.
Get it good and brown and lightly sprinkle with salt after you get it out of the oil.
Oil temp. is critical. You must keep it at or slightly above 350.
As my good buddy Alton Brown says: Good Eats!

    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
    • We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
