Fried Fish...

Hunter and his dad went fishing at Old River on Saturday and came home with an icechest full of bass.

So yesterday morning I was looking through the freezer trying to figure out what to cook. Hunter went grocery shopping by himself the other day, so needless to say, it was slim pickins! My options were deer or fish. And if you know me at all, I don't eat deer! When it comes to bass, I like mine fried! It's super simple to do, especially when you have a husband that's willing to help!

First you need to thaw out the fillets. Once they are thawed, I like to soak them in a milk/tabasco/cayenne pepper mixture. Basically you just take a couple cups of milk and mix it with a few dashes of tabasco, and 2-3 big shakes of cayenne.

Pour it over the fish in a bowl and let the fillets soak for about an hour.

Once you are finished soaking the fish, it's time to get the fryer going. I just love our GrandPappy fryer!!! After that, I like to give the fillets a good coating of mustard. Not only does it taste good, but it will help the Louisiana Fish Fry (Seasoned) stick.

Now it's time for the husband to step up and do his part! Hunter puts 2-3 cups of the fish fry into a bowl (best to use a bowl that has a lid). He puts a few of the fillets in the bowl, puts the lid on, and gives it a good shake!

Once the oil is hot enough, he puts a few pieces of breaded fish in at a time. It normally takes just a couple of minutes to cook. Once the crust turns to a yummy golden color, they are ready to come out!

Let it cool for a few minutes and be sure to have some ketchup handy. Enjoy!
