Can we fry em in bacon grease. Sounds good to me.

Silly Bushbeater, the bacon grease is for the fried taters.  However I would totally try fillets fried in bacon grease.😆

Andy’s red is my favorite but too spicy for many; for company I mix 50/50 with the mild or white.  I dip filets in milk and toss in the dry mix, shake off excess and into the hot oil.

crisco usually, but do use bacon grease pretty regular 

dust with flour first, dip in eggs/milk then coat wit ritz/flour mixture, fry till it floats

I blend panko and parm cheese 50/50, salt, pepper, garlic to taste.  Dip fillets in egg wash, coat in mixture.  Put under the broiler for 5-7 or so minutes until brown on top.  Drizzle with melted butter and lemon juice.

Salt, pepper, a bit of Old Bay, dust well with flour, dip in egg blended with a bit of water, shake off the excess egg, roll and cover with panko, let sit 15 minutes or so, fry in medium high neutral oil until golden brown, salt lightly again, serve with spicy fruit salsa on the side.

If you want to retain the true flavor of the fish you are frying, use "Old Fashioned Fry Meal". If you want your fish to taste like something other than fish, then I don't know what to tell you. This fry meal is sold at the Mennonite stores like "Miller's Country Store" near bssp.

i use a 50/50 blend of cornmeal and AP flour, then add garlic powder, onion powder, pepper and seasoned salt. deep fry til they float, then a light sprinkle of salt when they come out of the oil bath.

           I'm with Laker. I want fish to taste like they are supposed to. Each and ever species has a distinctive taste. We do occasionally use a spicy commercial batter to just S&P mixed in with flour but by far thick meaty fish get a brush of olive oil, sprinkle of S&P and maybe some rosemary. Then on a charcoal or gas grill and a quick cook. When meat goes from transparent to translucent to opaque pull it off. Man I think I need to thaw some walleye fillets pronto!
