My thoughts:
Years ago, individual told me that the clandestine to super crispy fried fish was self-rising cornmeal mix. I had never bought such a affair earlier as well as ever made my own mix of flour as well as cornmeal to brand fried fish (like
this) precisely when I saw about self-rising cornmeal mix on sale at Aldi, I picked upwardly a bag. And y'all know what? It actually does work! I don't know if it rose whatever precisely it actually stuck to the fish piece it was frying as well as when removing it from the pan as well as dishing up. Maybe it was partially the Old Bay rub that helped too? Who knows? All I know that this was about of the crispest, tastiest catfish I've had ever. And I am a catfish connoisseur. I volition tell it was slightly salty (self-rising cornmeal mix has about tabular array salt inwards it, every bit does lemon pepper as well as Old Bay) as well as then if y'all desire to purpose depression sodium Old Bay and/or lemon pepper, this is i recipe that they would operate perfectly in.
