Looking for better frying advice and now I get it why my fish kept getting soggy, makes perfect sense! Thank you for the critical tips!

Excellent fish-frying tips, thank you. Especially the tip about letting the fish cool down a little in a strainer instead of on paper towels. No doubt that keeps the fish nice and crisp instead of it turning soggy from the 'sweat'. I'll do that next time!

I discovered Louisiana fish fry mix a few years ago, I saw it at Walmart and tried it out. It's really good stuff, sticks to the fish well without egg wash and double-dipping. I like your method of breading the fish in a bowl, you get even coating and it doesn't come off when you're frying it. I hate coatings that come off, it dirties up your oil and the uncoated fish gets tough when fried. It works great for any fish and it's easy to use for shore lunches/camping too. I caught a mess of crappie yesterday through the ice, going out for more in a couple of hours, and they're going to be fried just like this tonight. I enjoy your videos, looking forward to watching more.

That fish looks amazing, thanks for sharing the techniques because for a long time I have struggled with frying fish. After watching this video I truly think I can get it done,💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

Crappie is the best freshwater fish to eat hands down

Thank you Sir, I am a die hard salt water surf fisherman with 3 igfa records. I had to watch over 10 videos before I found yours .I am visiting Missouri and have a cooler full of black crappie, thanks to you I feel confident that I can cook them correctly and anyone who eats them will smile... thanks

Thanks a mill for your fried fish cooking tips in a deep fryer . I was nervous wondering how to deep fried fish in a deep fryer because I always try foods in a pan and finally I got the nerve to start deep frying foods in a deep fryer instead . So thanks again and have may you have a blessed day . PS . Please keep up your good cooking tips for your viewers to see and learn from .

Best stuff on the market. While visiting Louisiana once on a fishing trip, our host cooked trout fillets for us as follows. The same seasoning mix that your using but as follows. Dry the filets (paper towel) and place them in bowl and add (depending on the amount of fish) a small amount of mustard and a couple of splashes of Louisiana hot sauce. Stir all of it together to lightly coat the fillets and then dip them (just as you did) in the seasoned mix. Everything else is the same as you are doing it. Outstanding flavor!!

Love me some crappie fillets, and I use that same breading sometimes too! In a pinch we go 1 part flour, two parts cornmeal, add some salt, cayenne, onion powder, etc. but as for store bought breading, I prefer just what you’re using there. Ha ha, watching this your voice turned on my Alexa! Those are some nice fillets man. Delicious. Great tip on the strainer! Never seen that before! Great tips, you’re gonna help a lot of people with this video.

I love that Louisiana fish fry because its already seasoned. No need to add anything. Just coat the fish and fry it up. I use mustard to coat mine. Never thought about using water. Crispy and golden brown.

Exactly how I do mine. Only difference is I mix 1 part flour and 3 parts Louisiana fry mix. I do 400 degrees on initial drop and put to 375 when I drop. I do 3.5 min.

No need for milk and eggs those are a waste. I've done this with fish and I've worked restaurants where a water bath and seasoning mix is used for frying shrimp. A Cajun myself we learn to slather a thin layer of mustard on the fish before coating to give it some needed thickness if desired and it adds a nice color too. That's the method the wife and I use when pier fishing for 3 days at a time - we simply fry fish in an iron skillet directly on the portable charcoal BBQ pit. People ask what we are fishing for and I say Catfish, here taste.. they will take a bite and stay fishing for the rest of the day trying to recapture that goodness!

That fish looked great! I bought a deep fryer late last year and I LOVE it! Keep up the good work.

best ive seen on you tube. I appreciate how you don't use milk and egg wash as it destroys the flavor of the crappie. ive been doing it this way for 30 years and its by far the best. You can also just use flour salt and pepper or 50 50 flour cornmeal salt and pepper. Instant sub from me sir

I use the same breading. But I like to put two bags of fish fry in a gallon freezer bag. Then when I’m done I’ll put the breading in the bag, right into the freezer. Use it two three times and replace. Helps keep the mess down. Awesome video! Tight lines and god bless!

Great video! To the point and very informative. Appreciate you taking the time to make and share this! I am giving it a try today! Take Care!

Thanks for the advice my brother. I went out and bought the same deep fryer you have, and it is a beast. Continue to enlighten us brother. Thank you for the love...

I just caught a 26" blue cat yesterday. Gonna try your recipe

Yeah man! Louisiana fry is what we've always used in my family too. We came up with a brown paper sack instead of a bowl though.

You have been elected to head chef crappie stud, and no one mentioned the absolutely beautiful table you get to work on !!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the sifter tip to get rid of the clumps; I usually just throw it away. I also like the tip for nuggets. My former neighbor is a fisherman; he caught lots of crappies and would share them. I miss that.😐

I agree with your video 99.99% but i found out that if u press the fish on both sides in the coating you will get more use of the fish batter in stead of shaking...i cook my fish at 320 to 330 degrees for 6 minutes.... also i use the lemon flavor coating with fillet swai fish both u can buy at walmart.... i tried the lemon flavor with other fish gilletd but i just didnt work as well with swai..... thanks for ur video.... also i remove as much moisture as i can.... and also i coat the fish twice the second coating is right before i fry the fish because the 1st coating soaks up moisture and the second coating seals the 1st coating.... thanks for the video u dont get a thumbs up u get 2 forks up see ya

Fish looks great. We use Louisiana Fish Fry, but due to it having MSG in it, we sometimes use Cajuns' Choice. We put our fillets in a gallon Ziplock bag with the fish breading and shake them up until they are covered. I find that it makes less mess for us. Thanks for the video.

375, 3 minutes... u the man!!! Can’t wait to test out my new deep fryer!!! Appreciate it Boss, GREAT VIDEO!!!

I love this video. We have a fishing club with about 25 brothers. We live up north so right now is great for Crappie fishing. And a lot of guys try a lot of different recipes with crappie But this way is the best thank you

Thanks for the awesome video. Your kids have a loving Dad, they are very fortunate. Bless you and your family.

I love my deep fryer Everyone need to purchase it... because that's the best way to fry fish.

Best part, “Allexa, start a 3 min timer.” Haa love it!! Btw, that is exactly how i do it too. The prep, fish fry product, cook, and resting technique. It drives me crazy when people immediatly cover fried foods. Good video too, i’m a fish dude myself. You are alright guy. Tight lines bro.

Can't get fresh crappie right now but thanks for the vid. I can make any other fried fish using same technique. Excellent tips, too, Deecrappie!

I been slapping my knee for the past 10 mins, this video “dun made me get my country rutts back”!!!

This guys knows fishing and cooking fish. Great Job!

thanks so much for making this much easier! it gives me confidence to fry my own fish. blessings

I'm president of the Catch and Eat Foundation, loved the video.

Oh it makes me hungry again! That looks delicious and healthy.

Try putting the breading in a large freezer sized ziplock. Seal it up and shake. It coats with much less mess.

This man ain't no joke when it comes to Fish Fry.😋

Even though i just discovered this, you seem bright and clever. I never would've thought about this technique cause i don't fry fish cause i'll make a big mess so i airfry my fish. If you want you can make a video and show us how you fry whole fish with bones in it. There are different techniques people use to fry chicken and fish but you seem real clever and smooth

Just found your channel, love it man! Let's fish in Iowa!!

Thanks for the fish nugget idea for the kids !!! I'm trying this today for the kids !!

Great tips, especially the tip on using a strainer instead of paper towels to better keep the coating crispy... paying attention to the details matter!

If i'm cooking a whole bunch of fish i'll put the done fillets on a cookie drying rack in the oven on the lowest setting so everybody can eat at the same time. I give the oldest fellas the fresh fried ones. And everybody else gets whats in the oven. They all really taste the same. The cookie rack keeps them from soaking in the grease.

Those were some very large crappie fillets, crappie is fish candy, well done sir.

Excellent! Finally someone shows exactly how to fry fish right. Thank you, great video.

Looks so delicious ! I don’t like my fish cooked hard !! Nope !! Perfect fried fish, it is !! Thank you !

Really you have a two basket fryer and you are cooking one piece of fish in each, really! You be cooking all day. I love crappie

No lie bronthats the best crappie cooking video ive seen on youtube

Super simple yet I learn something... good video

Omg...that fish looks so good and i bet it taste even better than it looks...

2 suggestions...... andy reds fish seasoning and add some smoked paprika to louisianna fish fry or andys and if you use a storage bag to coat fish it work well too

02:48 Alexa Start A 3 minute timer " 3 Minutes Starting Now"

Love my country folks! That looks like it came out a basket from fish fry restaurant was hilarious. Nice golden love me some fried fish!

Marinating the fish in Italian dressing first makes it taste nice and seasoned ... also keeps it juicy and moist ... you don’t have to add any additional salt .. love this video !

Nice video bro! That's something I had to learn. I used to cook my crappie to long trying to fry it like catfish but its 2 different textures. Crappie just need the 2 to 3 minutes. Keep up the great work!

Crappie jerky!! LOL!!! Love the video. While it's very simple, it's also right on the money. No need to get fancier. Thanks for the info. Guess I'll be heading to Wallyword for a deep fryer.
