"Food" for thought

[TonkaBass]

I enjoy fish fries occationally, and when I do I seem to always try a new batter or recipe. Just wondering what everyone likes the best. I really like shorelunch cajun, but it would be nice to get some new ideas.

thanks

StrikeMaster Fish House Batter Mix

[Jim Almquist]

For fried fish I like Jason Bosers mix that can be found in the Grand Rapids, Deer River area. Favorite way to eat right now is fish tacos. They are on the menu for Thursday night

[blackdog1101]

I make a batter with 2 eggs, 1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup Bisquick, and enough beer to make it into a pancake-like batter (about 1/2 can) and a tablespoon of Old Bay Seasoning. Salt to taste when the fish is served.

I've also heard of, but not tried, using seasoned instant potato flakes.

I'll be interested in other ways to prepare the fish too. Any receipes that don't involve frying?

[CNCMike]

I very rarely fry fish. Stir fried with bamboo shoots and asparagus is good. Parmesan encrusted and baked is awesome. Broiled with Old Bay and I just tried a poached walleye that was amazing. I think I fry fish maybe 2-3 times per year.

I only cook fish about 3-4 times a year and its usually fried!

I have made a killer lemon peppered northern in the oven and on the grill.

Salmon on a cedar board is good to...

I take itialian shore lunch and regular shore lunch 50/50 then into the miriacle penut oil. Awsoome!! My kids eat it all up.

You guys are making me hungry! I'm gonna pull some crappies out of the fridge when I get home, soak em with some milk and an egg and fry up in some fry magic! Doesn't get much better than that!

Beer batter.. 1/2 cup beer 1/2 cup flour let sit 3 hours.

I dip my filets in egg, then coat with a dry mixture of 60% Club crackers and 40% Panko bread crumbs.

Uncle Dons Chuck Wagon Onion Ring Mix...Cut into nuggets and then deep fat fry them.

[JigginIsLife]

easiest and the best to me by far, is just straigt from rinsing them off to in some flour with salt and pepper, then throw em into the deep fryer. nothing better.

[FrontenacPike]

Saltine Cracker are usually my base from there I have done alot of experiment. Usually 60% crackers ~~~~40% experiment.

I've added

Doritos (spicy nacho) mmmm my favorite by the way

Cheetos not bad either

jalapeño Cheetos (darn good as well, with a little zing)

Sun Chips

Old Dutch (sour cream and onion)

Andy's Fish Breading Red Mix - available at Fleet Farm.

Andy's = cheap+great flavor. Hands down favorite at my house. It is a little like shorelunch cajun, but not quite the bite, with a lil cornmeal like texture. I dip in egg/milk wash and throw it in the fryer. Sprinkle with a little salt after it comes out. Oooh Baby!

[Ice4blood]

My wifes favorite is milk, then flower mixed with whatever spices are around the house (garlic, pepper, lawry's, thyme, sage, oregano???), then into egg, then into finely grated club crackers. Cook em in an oil and butter mixture......too good!

Louisiana Cajun, Shore Lunch, Corn Flake Crumbs, Beer Batter, Panko...You can't go wrong with fresh fried fish!

[Thunder]

I'm a Shore Lunch Original guy...but rather than dipping it in egg then the dry mix, I like to dip it in milk instead. I find I get less mix/batter on it. With the typically small fillets I bring home if I get too much batter you can't taste the fish!! Using milk gets just enough on to coat the fish but not overpower it.

[Steve Foss]

We just go with a 50-50 mix of standard Shore Lunch and Fryin Magic. Best of both worlds.
