Good recipes guys. Thanks. I guess I have to get off the old school of half corm flake crumbs and half cracker meal. It's all I've ever used. Don't laugh but I've been apprehensive about venturing out with new recipes until I've had ample supply in case I screw up. Well, since getting back into this (moving back to Ohio 2 years ago) that ample supply still hasn't made it's way into my fish cooler.

I'm going to try the hooters mix.

Im hungry all ready!!! That hooters recipe sounds good coount me in for trying that. I have tried several things that floped. I'm still looking for a good one for bakeing. Any help?

[Rusty]

Anyone ever done this? If so I'm all ears, cause I've always wanted to try it.

Thanks

I seem to slide back to my standby - crush one sleeve of Keebler saltines into fine crumbs. Add one half sleeve of Ritz crackers crushed into flour. Mix the flours together. Dip the fish into beaten egg/milk mixture, let excess drain off, then coat completely in the flour mixture. Fry golden brown in oil, I like to use peanut oil. Seems the only mix I've found over the years that everyone from little children to oldsters will eat and rave about. The fillets also look gorgeous on the plate, and we all know that's part of the deal when you're feeding a group.

I do also like original Shore Lunch on walleyes and bluegills occasionally, but doesn't get the raves from everyone else that my tried-and-true recipe gets.

PS - my fishing buddy grills walleye. I'll have him do some next time we go and I'll share his recipe.
