Thread: Spices mixed in your breading??

If I am not using just cornmeal as my breading for fried fish I may use one of the commercially available options. I like several of them.

But my question is, do you all mix anything on your own (I know most of you probably do lol)?
I’m going to try some blackened seasoning in yellow cornmeal tonight for my breading.
Other suggestions?

I'm pretty much a yellow cornmeal only kinda guy, but I do sometimes shake in a bit of "Slap Ya Mama" Cajun Seasoning.

I mostly use fine ground yellow corn meal and fry in processed coconut oil. Every now and then I use Everglades "fish and Chicken" seasoning on our fish or Cavenders Greek Seasoning if I have to use Flour . I just ran out of the Fish and Chicken Everglades seasoning pressure cooking 2 chickens for chicken broth soup. The F and C is hard to find in our town, gonna order some online. I use Tempura batter a couple of times a year. We don't use any hot or spicy seasoning on our fish... wife likes it plain but I am a Ketchup guy.

Added some of these to my yellow cornmeal. Turned out good!

i add so many things it defies the imagination .
and it depends on who is eating the finished product .
onion powder ,garlic powder , sea salt , black pepper, chili powder ,cayenne powder , parmesan cheese , panko bread crumbs ,and possibly anything else laying around the spice area that i think might add a touch on yum to it .....
store bought mixes not terribly often though
i typically do it to taste as i go and try to not get carried away with any one thing .
probably never did one mix the exact same as the next and often just add to my big bag when it gets low

I also adjust the recipe depending on audience. I’m much more adventurous on the culinary wheel of excitement if it’s just me eating the final product!
