Best breading/oil

[EYEFISH4FOOD]

Hi guys.... Just wanted some input on what you guys think is the best breading out there for these lovely walleye i have in my freezer. Any and all suggestions would be appreciated. My personal experience is canola oil and shore lunch breading. Anyone have any other ideas as to what tastes better? Please let us all know so we can all try something different this season. Thanks!!!

My wife like's the Uncle Buck's breading you can get at Bass Pro. I don't know if it's anything special, but she really liked it when she tried a sample at the store. As far as the oil, Canola Oil is probably the best tasting oil to fry in. As with any frying, it's less about what type of oil you use so long as you make sure the oil is hot before you drop your food into it. Cold oil ruins food, most electric fryers are too small to drop a lot of food into at once, especially frozen stuff like fries or chicken, because they cool the oil off too fast.

Andy's Cajun.
Bar none the best I've ever had...if you like spicy.

Andy's original and Cajun is both good. Also like drakes beer batter then rolled in golden dipt bread crumbs.

I tried something new recently.Scramble up some eggs,mix in a little milk,salt and pepper.Put fillets in zip lock bag add mixture let set over night(turn bag over once in awhile). When ready,take another zip lock bag add Progresso Bread Crumbs add a little flour and mix well.Pull fillets out of egg mixture,let egg drain off a bit and put in bag of bread crumbs shake up well covering up all of fillet.(I used Italian style bread crumbs,use whatever kind you prefer).Next I used large skillet and added oil,half inch or so in depth of skillet.Heated on med hi.When oil is good in hot added fillets.I fried 3 to 4 minutes first side,until brown and crispy looking. turn over fillet and fry 2-3 minutes till brown and crispy.In my book pretty darn GOOD!!! With that said I think I will thaw out a bag of Eyes LOL!!!

Fryin' Magic if I don't have any of my homemade made up. Never compared oils. My homemade is corn flake crumbs, flour and Lawrey's seasoned salt.

Kellog's corn flake crumbs are my favorite. Dust the fillet in flour and salt & pepper, dip in egg, milk and a little maple syrup for sweet, corn flake crumbs in a gallon zip lock and shake the fillet in them, ready for the fryer. Vegetable oil in a large pot on the stove. Been doing it this way for 40 years. Kellogs corn flake crumbs are already to go in a box by the bread crumbs in the market.

IMO you've already got the combo!

Cleaned fillets, put pieces into 1/2 & 1/2 with eggs, dredge in home made batter. Put into zip lock/then fridge for around 30 minutes. Makes batter adhere much better, then fry in clear frying oil. Over the years I found an electric fryer to be a lot easier than my propane fryer and really easier than my cast iron pan. But that is me.

I threatened to disown my son-in-law out in Colorado when I found out he was hitting my beautiful walleye filets with cajun crap. Catfish or bass maybe but not the golden walleye I risked my life to bring to the table. They deserve a little more respect. (Can I hear a little Amen?)
