LOUISIANA FISH FRY (CAJUN)
My sister-in-law lives in northern Louisiana, near Haughton. I go hunting with her husband every year. While there, they will always do up a mess of fish (pearch, brim, catfish, what ever is on hand). This is their sure-fire recipe for one heck of a fish fry.

Steps:
- For the fish: Smear a light coating of Tabasco over the filets. Season with Tony's, then coat with Louisiana Fish Fry (or other seasoned corn meal), and place in freezer until ready to fry up. Note: You don't want the fish frozen, but very cold.
- Deep fry in hot oil. My brother in law cooks the fish out on the deck, using a liquid propane burner and a cast iron Dutch oven. He drops an unlit kitchen match in the oil. When it ignites, the oil is ready. That's around 325-350 degrees if you want to use a thermometer. Drop a few pieces of fish in at a time. Remove when golden brown and drop into a brown paper bag to drain and keep warm until all the fish is done.
- For the Hush Puppies: Crumble 1 1/2 sleeves of crackers by placing them in a zip lock bag and rolling with a rolling pin. Combine with remaining ingredients. Using two spoons, form into oval (foot ball shaped) balls.
- Drop into hot oil and cook until golden brown. Turning occasionally.
- For the Corn: Lightly coat each piece with the mustard. Coat with the fish fry, and deep fry in hot oil until golden brown.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality fish: The fresher the fish, the better the fry will be. Look for fish that is firm to the touch and has a mild, briny smell.
- Season the fish well: Before frying, season the fish with a mixture of salt, pepper, and paprika. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or cayenne pepper.
- Use a light batter: A light batter will help the fish to fry evenly and crispy. Use a combination of flour, cornstarch, and baking powder to make a light batter.
- Fry the fish in hot oil: The oil should be hot enough to sizzle when the fish is added. This will help the fish to cook evenly and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
- Do not overcrowd the pan: When frying the fish, do not overcrowd the pan. This will cause the fish to steam and become soggy.
- Serve the fish hot: Serve the fried fish hot, with your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
With these simple tips, you can make a delicious Louisiana fish fry that your family and friends will love. Be sure to experiment with different types of fish and dipping sauces to find your favorite combination.
