Needin a batter

[Wichita]

I'm looking for a crappie batter similar to Moby Dick. Help!

Don't know what Moby Dick is but I came up with this last night.
Used equal parts of Andy's (real fine corn meal w/ seasonings) and flour,
seasoned that with a BBQ rub I make, Lowry's Seasoning Salt would do.
Then dipped fish in buttermilk rolled in flour mixture deep fried till done.
I have ate a lot of crappies and my wife and myself now swear by these.
ABSOULUTLY DELICIOUS!!!

I like the sound of the buttermilk. i have tried various mixes of the cornmeal and flour. We like 1/3 cornmeal and 2/3rds flour.

around these parts ... is Long John Silver's or Capt D's :p

You are talking about this place, right : http://www.mobydickrestaurant.com/

Can't help you on the batter .... (Family Secret, according to website) :D

Read several reviews on MD's food/service/prices ... about 50/50 (great or terrible).

Don't use (or like) batter on my fish, anyway ... just a light dusting of yellow corn meal, and into the frying pan, for me.

Luck2ya ... on your search !!

Corn meal and black pepper is my favorite.

yes dont like flour on my fish just light dusting of the corn meal that comes from quaker in the round box is a very small grain corn meal.

Doesn't just corn meal give it a heavy taste?

Bass Pro's Uncle Bucks Hot and Spicey fish batter is yum yum. Of course this is just my thought.

Pancake batter "bisquick" is good but you have to thin it downsome and it make the crispies like Long John's

Play with this to suit your taste.

1 beer
2 cups self-rising flour
3 eggs

note:
i add white pepper(kids don't see black specks) and garlic powder
no self-rising flour add 2 tsp baking powder to regular flour
more beer=thinner batter
