Fish Fry Coating Mix
A homemade fish fry coating mix enhances the flavor and texture of fried fish, providing a crispy, golden crust while keeping the inside tender and flaky. Customizable and free from preservatives, this pantry mix is a cost-effective and versatile option for scratch cooking.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups yellow cornmeal
- 2 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1 tsp celery salt
- 1 tsp lemon pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients into a large bowl and mix well. Transfer to an airtight container.
- To Make: Heat up oil in a large skillet. Combine 1 cup buttermilk and 1 egg in a small bow. Pour coating mix into a plastic bag. Dip fish into the egg mixture and then place into the dry mix bag. Shake until well coated and add to your hot skillet. Fry until golden brown on both sides.
