Your favorite batter?

[KRW]

I had to go bak and chk the thread title. Yall have some really good ideas for catfish, gar, grinnel. But for good ole Crappie, I mix 1 cup Yellow Corn Meal with 1 tablespoon self rising flour. Smattern of salt, shake em and fry em!! ������
but for Catfish I gonna try yalls ideas!! ����

Don't have a favorite "batter", because I don't use any batter. Straight yellow corn meal 90% of the time ... the other 10% I may add a little Walker & Sons "Slap Ya Mama" Cajun Seasoning, if I'm feeling a little froggy that day.

Cornmeal and salt. I have been known to sprinkle a little malt vinegar on them as I eat them.

I agree here this stuff is way gooooooood. On crappie and catfish fillets.

I have tried at least 10 or so breading mixes from Andy's to Louisiana to Zatarain's and fewer known offerings. I have found that the finer the corn is ground, it allows me to actually taste the Crappie better. Coarse corn meal is great on Catfish, but I just prefer the finer ground Corn for Gills and Crappie. Now I have never tried a batter that I just didn't like, but my favorites are Zatarain's Crispy Southern and the regular New Orleans style - Louisiana's New Orleans style is also a go to and can be had in the big gallon jugs. I like Andy's red too. One that many haven't tried is Kentucky Kernel. Its flour based and it's a different take on the fillets, but man its good for a change sometimes. It fries up really light without so much breading. They also make a fish fry, but it's very similar to the rest.

Dry your fillets, crack an egg with them in the bowl and mix it up good. Give the Kentucky Kernel a try.

It depends on what I'm doing with my fillets. If I'm making tacos out of them, they get the beer batter that my mom gave me the recipe to. If I'm just having fried fish, then I use Louisiana brand Seasoned Crispy and New Orleans mixed 50/50. Now that I see they sell a Cajun, I might mix the Seasoned with it for some bite.

Louisiana in the blue bag, with added Lowry's, sometimes crushed red pepper or whatever I think might be good. No wash or coating aside from the water they were soaking in. Fry at 375 for 3-5 minutes.

I prefer a corn meal type coating, results in less dirty dishes and doesn't dirty up your oil quite as bad compared to something like beer batter.

JR Mad's is the best I've had. It's not readily available locally so I just use the Louisiana blue bag.

None of that hot, salty, spicy etc. for me. Rinse the fillet or whole fryers and pat dry. Sprinkle lightly my favorite low salt seasoning and then dust them with some pure corn flour. Fry until crispy, you get to enjoy the sweet flavor of the worlds best tasting fish. No hiding it in a whole lot of other stuff. Catfish is another story.
