honestly, I think the best way is to keep it simple and get a good beer batter. Use a good full force beer like Budweiser and get a good, thick beer batter on those filets and fry 'em up golden brown!!

Beer batter is my favorite. I add alittle Cayenne pepper to "spice" it up a notch. BAM!!

Pan cake mix and 7up for the blue gill. Excellent.....

I really don't caqre for the beer batter at all. It makes it too greasy. I'm all for hot and spicy but I've found that if you put cayenne in the batter, the hot oil neutralizes it (the heat). Maybe you were talking about dusting it right after it comes out of the oil.

An old cajun i worked on the tow boats with, told me, if you add red pepper to the corn meal it will help "turn" the grease, and make the fish taste less greasy. Seems to work. I dredge my in flour, then, dip in egg-milk, then, dredge in corn meal, with it i mix lemon pepper, onion salt. And a little old bay seasoning. Tastes pretty good... Tr

I'm a beer batter guy as well, IF your deep fried fish is greasy the oil is not hot enough, this could be starting too low temps OR adding too many fillets at one time lowering temp that way. IF the oil is in the 375-400 range the batter will not have time to absorb the oil/grease and won't be greasy, below that and you're on your own

Doesn't get any better than Andy's red cornmeal breeding at the grocery store. If you like spicy try mixing half Cajun/ half red. Don't even have to make egg wash, just pat dry and dip in breading and into the grease. Tried many different batters/breading and hands down my favorite.

thanks...I will try this

I second the Andy's...love that stuff and its easy, just get some large zip lock bags and shake the fish in the breading...I'm also a big fan of weisenberger mill mixed with a little beer, its a thicker batter but is really good on fish, peppers, green tom, etc. You can buy both at Krogers in Georgetown/Frankfort...hope this helps

1/2 box of seasoned bread crumb's mixed with a box of Zataran's southern crispy mix, dip fillet's in a egg and lemon juice wash and then bread.it makes a good crispy crust.
