How do you fry your catfish? I’ve heard mustard, buttermilk, etc. what’s the best?

I do mustard and hot sauce for coating. Louisiana blue box/bag for breading.

No binders are necessary. I go from Ice cold water directly to the fish fry and into the oil.

season well, dip in milk, coat in a combo of corn flour and corn meal. Fry until GB&D

Season the fish, dip or soak in buttermilk but not for long.
I use a mix of corn meal and the unseasoned Louisiana fish fry for the breading.
Edit: also if frying filets, I slice them into 2 or 3 pieces depending on size at an angle to get some crunchy edges. Also find that helps with serving portions with a larger crowd. Less waste.

Same.
Ice water directly into Louisiana Blue Box into oil...

Rinse and trim filets to nugget size.
Soak in buttermilk 30 mins.
Toss in Zatarain's yellow box.
Fry 3-5 mins 375- or until they float

Agreed, keeps the fried-coating light and tasty. You can't beat it. From the ice cold water, to a bowl with Zatarain's Fish Fry Seasoned brand (lemon added), shake, place in fry basket, and drop em. Enjoy!

Cold fish and seasoned cornmeal for me.

Agreed. Started doing this last year and it's my preferred method now.

Everything in this is 100% correct
Simple and delicious
I’ll add some fresh lemon juice also

I stopped using binders, just cold water to 50/50 fish fry/corn meal. I like the taste of the fish to shine through and not the salt in the fish fry.

Straight from the ice bath into my bread mix into the grease.
Posted on 7/18/22 at 8:02 pm to KyrieElaison
I either do a watered down mustard or just water, but I always do a combo of corn flour/corn meal.

Try subbing ice cold beer for the water. Then to corn flour/ corn meal mix (I do 50:50, seasoned). Hot grease. I gave up the mustard hot sauce mixture that I grew up on and used since the’60’s.

Dumbfounded here. Seriously.
Whole “fiddler” cats or fillets?
Whole fiddlers soaked in LA hot sauce then tossed n seasoned corn meal is how you fry them. Jeesh. ??
Do what u want w the fillets. Recommend the same, me
