THE FRIDAY FISH FRY

If you know anything about fried fish, you know it's all about the batter! This recipe includes our own homemade wet and dry batters. they have to be seasoned just right. Well, this recipe makes making the batters quick and easy. The Cook Shop Seasoning Blends take all of the guess work out of cooking. They're perfectly blended to add mouthwatering flavor to whatever you're cooking.

So much talk about the batters, let's not forget about the fish. I'm using trout for this recipe, but many prefer catfish. There are also other varieties of fish that will work well with this recipe. The choice is yours.

Heat the skillet on medium heat for a few minutes before pouring in the cooking oil.

Next, add the fillets into the Ziploc bag with the dry batter mixture and shake until the fillets are completely coated with the dry batter. Remove from bag and fry the fish 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and flakes easily with a fork.
