Ive never understood the dip it in mustard/sour cream/etc. To me it doesn't change the flavor of the fish at all You must have dead tastebuds.

Far from it but I did fry up some nice crispy little catfish and blackened some bass last night and it was legit! Oh and without any marinades mustard sour cream or buttermilk.

That's the way I like it. I have tried the fru fru stuff and besides the ones soaked in Louisiana Hot Sauce, I cant tell that it does much to the fish flavor, maybe I don't have sophisticated taste buds lol.. To me, its just about like keeping wild animals on ice for a week to remove the wild taste. Proper cleaning, rinsing and storage is the key to having a good clean piece of fish to cook. I cook a lot of specs, reds, stripers, and crappie, and have yet to have any complaints.

Ive never understood the dip it in mustard/sour cream/etc. To me it doesn't change the flavor of the fish at all and I get plenty of breading just seasoning them and then dredging in fish fry. Have made our own but find zatarans crispy southern to be about the best ive had.
I also like to make a thin beer batter and dredge in panko bread crumbs.
There are a bunch of different ways to cook fish I guess everyone has their favorite. Last few times we have cooked fish we had a crappie mixed in with several 14-24 inch channel and blue cats(seems like we can never catch more than 1 or 2 crappie in a sitting), the crappie are easily discernable from the catfish and I was surprised when everyone at the house preferred the catfish to the crappie. I think catfish have more taste to them than crappie...……….

Most of time I fry crappie it is just with a little seasoning, and very little oil.  I’m one downing you guys.

It's hell eatin em live

My daughter open a bag of tortilla chips, I said “Hey wait a sec, the bag over there is not empty”. She said its the end of the bag, and the chips are broken. So I mashed them up, ...   Guy this first pic looked like you found some dog nuggets in the yard and chipped them up  Then the last pic of them looks out of site good
