We use a egg and milk wash and batter in corn meal with salt and pepper and slap your momma or any fav spices you like if you dont use a egg wash it don't fry up good and make home made hush puppy's

Coastal,

Get you some Alabama King fine ground corn meal. It's distributed by Dixie Lily over in Saraland.
We've only found it at the Foley Win-dixie (across 59 from the Piggly Wiggly). Less than $2.00 for a pound and a half bag.

It's all I use for fish and oyster fryin anymore. I add me some onion powder, Slap Ya Momma, shake it up in a bag, throw in the fish, shake it easy so it fully coats and fry in hot canola oil. Sometimes I use a milk/egg wash sometimes I don't. If it's not thick enough for yuh after one coat redip in the wash and recoat before you fry it.
NUMMY :eat: :eat: :eat:

thanks will try! And were having a small fish fry, but all we have are reds. ive always grilled my reds never fried any. hows it taste??

As an alternative - all purpose flour and buttermilk wash, salt and pepper. Makes a very thin breading. Keep it plain and simple. I wanna taste fish not 68 seasonings.

lol you got that right it like when people smoke Fish they smoke it so long all you taste is wood lol and they talk about how good it is lol

Best I've tasted on frying redfish is zataran's crispy southern. Cut meat into small rectangles about 2" by 1" or so. I use peanut oil.

Tastes pretty good if you ask me. Nice and tender.

Just don't over cook.
