Fish Fry Fun

Beer Batter

2 lbs fresh or frozen fish filets

vegetable oil for deep frying

1/4 cup lemon juice1 cup all purpose flour

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. paprika

1 12oz bottle beer

1/4 cup flour

Cut fish into serving size pieces. Sprinkle lightly with lemon juice. Sift 1 cup of flour, salt and paprika into mixing bowl. Add beer gradually, beating until batter is smooth. Put 1/4 cup of flour in a flat dish and dip the fish fillets to coat on both sides. Then draw each piece of fish through the beer batter; make sure each piece is coated well. Fry in hot oil 4 minutes, turning once. Batter should be dark, golden brown and crisp and fish should be cooked throughly. Drain on paper towels. Serve immediately.

Fried Catfish

3 or 4 Catfish fillets

1 cup Yellow Corn Meal

2 teaspoons Lawry's Seasoned Salt

Crisco or your favorite vegetable cooking oil.

Rinse the fillets thoroughly and then pat dry with a paper towel.

Coat the fish in the corn meal and season mixture, place it in a plastic bag and just shake it.

Drop into deep fryer at 325 degrees. Fry until it turns golden brown, about 5 minutes. Dump onto paper towel and allow to drain.

Serve with collard greens, macaroni and cheese, cole slaw and hush puppies.

Piping Hot Hush Puppies

2 cups yellow corn meal

1 cup plain flour (flour will give it lighter taste)

2 eggs

1 cup buttermilk (you can also use plain milk in a pinch, but nothing compares to buttermilk)

3/4 teaspoon seasoned salt. (Lowreys)

1/2 teaspoon ground pepper blend

1 teaspoon baking powder

2/3 teaspoon baking soda

1/8 cup bacon grease

3/4 cups Yellow Corn

Mix all of the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add eggs, oil, and buttermilk. Stir it all up until the flavors are thoroughly blended.

Turn your cooker on medium-high heat. When it's hot you can drop your hush puppies in using a tablespoon. Allow them to brown on all sides. They should begin floating when done.
