Howdy folks, and thanks for stopping by the website! I do love me some time out on the lake just North of town. The Major, Shannon and I set out on a beautiful day to catch some fish to fry up. We didn’t catch much besides a real pretty little Perch, who I threw back so he could fatten up a little bit for another day. It’s a good thing I’ve got some other catch in the ice box back at the barn!

Start with a Good Homemade Tartar Sauce
I’m telling you – taking five or ten minutes to mix up your own tartar sauce takes any fried fish to the next level. I like to mixup some Duke’s Mayonnaise, W sauce, capers, diced dill pickles, and some horseradish.
The best fish for frying, in my experience, is white and flaky. The crust needs to be crispy and golden brown, and to achieve that you need to have oil at a good, steady temperature. Check the oil temperature often while frying because adding the fish will reduce the temperature of the oil.
What Breading Ingredients Make the Crispiest Fried Fish?
The base of the breading mixture will be a cup of all-purpose flour and a cup of yellow corn meal. This gives the fried fish the classic gritty breading texture. Corn starch is essential to fish breading. Add a heaping tablespoon of it because it will help the batter adhere to the fish. Add a heaping tablespoon of baking powder as well. This will give the batter a extra pop of volume for a better bite. Then, flavor the mix – I use garlic powder, ground mustard, smoked paprika, and Original Seasoning. Mix well.
