Flour does not belong on fish, people.  Corn meal? I never thought about that! I'm going to try this tonight and HotBears this weekend. But what seasoning do you put in the corn meal?
You can just use salt and pepper, or add chili or cayenne if you like it spicier. And they do sell good fish fry down here that's already seasoned. You can probably find it online like at Starika in Greenville, MS. If you buy anything there, get the Lillo's salad dressing as well. I could pour that stuff over ice and drink it! |

Haha. No! Just if you buy fish fry from Starika (they have an online store) to buy the salad dressing too because it's the best I've ever had. A local Italian family makes it for their restaurant. |

Location: The end of the Earth, SE AR | Before your deep fry your fish in cornmeal, make up a batch of hushpuppies or corn fritters and fry them first. Then open a can of WOP biscuits and fry those next so you can eat them with honey while the fish are frying. My Dad, who grew up in western PA and NE Ohio couldn't get enough of fried WOP biscuits. |

Location: Bastrop, Texas | Southerners think perch and walleye are some sort of prehistoric creatures. Their idea of good fish is Bass and Catfish. Up here we catch bass because they are good fighters, but we seldom eat them except for smallies early in the year, maybe. We release them. Catfish usually only thrive up here in rivers where there is plenty of sewage for them to feed on. We use catfish up here for fertilizer. I guess they do eat trout, which is pretty good, but generally they love bottom dwellers like catfish. Up here we also have "bullheads" which are related to catfish. They can be a nuisance. No real fisherman likes bullheads because catching them is like catching an old boot.
Walleye is the best eating freshwater fish in the world.
You southerners can keep your bass and scavenger fish....along with your back fat, possum, and javalena.
just kidding! |

I don't know anybody who eats bass. We eat catfish and crappie and saltwater fish. I don't know what those saltwater fish are called, speckled trout and red ear maybe(?) but my hubby brings them home and they're good. |

Cold hands and Warm Heart
Location: oklahoma | Â I use 3/4 cornmeal and 1/4 flour mixture . I'd think that straight flour wouldn't give it enough crisp. Add whatever spices to that in a big baggie or just leave it at salt and pepper and fry in peanut oil. Hushpuppies and tartar sauce with some seasoned fries, good stuff! I've used panko but had rather leave that to coat 1"thick p.chops or topping for homemade mac and cheese. |

WOP biscuits: Go to the dairy section of the grocery store where they have the refigerated biscuits in a can. Buy a can of buttermilk biscuits and some good honey. When you are ready to deep fry the biscuits, peel off the label, and WOP the can on the edge of the kitchen counter and open it and pull out each biscuit. Now you have raw WOP biscuits ready to fry!

Those poor souls don't know how to take a nice catfish steak or fillet and some yellow cornmeal and a fry fish proper.
I guess the've never had buffalo ribs either. We are so lucky down here in AR.
catfish would make me vomit.......along with trout.... |
