my fish fry secret
I am not the best fryer. My crispy coating is anything but! Soggy or burnt, and never sticks to the food. At a bbq, a friend had made her famous shrimp. After a box of wine, she gave up two of the ingredients in her secret recipe - butter and mustard. So I concocted a quasi-recipe as a marinade, but it was very thick, so I threw some flour on it and fried it. Amazing!

How To Make my fish fry secret
-
Step 1Grab two containers for dipping and dredging
-
Step 2In one goes the flour, the other goes the melted butter, mustard, and seasoning
-
Step 3The measurements are more like guidelines. The "batter" should be tangy and a bit salty. It will mellow when cooked and will have a subtle mustard flavor.
-
Step 4Prep your frying pan and your fish. I prefer a large "nugget" size. They cook faster and more evenly, and are fun finger food.
-
Step 5Dip the fish pieces into the batter, getting a good thick coat.
-
Step 6Dredge through the flour. I like to pat it in, making sure everything sticks.
-
Step 7Place into your heated pan and fry till golden, then flip over and repeat. Don't over crowd the pan!
-
Step 8Place on a rack to drain excess oil.
-
Step 9EAT!!!!
