Best breading/oil

Wow! Lots of good recipes! I'm going to have to print this thread for the record! With Lake Erie's larger walleye, I have been filleting the filet reducing the maximum thickness to 3/4" or so. This seems to help ensure cooking consistency throughout and lets the shake recipe be a bit more prominent. We have been using "Slap Ya Mama Cajun Fry Fry" by Walker & Son's. My brother-in-law gave me a couple boxes when he returned from Louisiana. I haven't had to buy any yet but see it can be purchased on line. My wife's aunt's recipe won a blind taste test during one of our fish fry's. Mix 1/2 Fryin' Magic and 1/2 Instant Pancake Mix for the shake. Shake the fish once, let sit for 5 mn and then shake again before frying at ~ 360 degrees. My wife bought a dedicated deep fry for $17 from Aldes a couple years ago and that's been the best investment.

Second on the Drakes seasoning it's perfect on perch or walleye, cheap too they sell a 5lb bag of it at Costco o Sam's Club.
