Fish Batter preferrence #2

[Guest lundboy]

Hopefully this one works, lets try again!

 

 

Since the season is almost here I thought it would be a good idea to get some experienced taste tester opinions on commercial batters. I'm always thinking of trying one, but I didn't like the FC Cajun when I tried it.

 

I usually just use seasoning salt and flour.

I actually take a whole bunch of flavours of the FC or the Uncle Bucks stuff from Bass Pro and mix it with Bread crumbs.

I don't care for commercial batters or mixes. I prefer my fish rinsed patted dry with a paper towel and dredged in a seasoned flour made from all purpose flour, garlic salt, and black pepper.

 

Ol Yeller makes a pretty mean fried fillet with patted dry fillets dipped in beaten egg and then rolled in Progresso Italian seasoned bread crumbs!

Progresso Italian seasoned bread crumbs

 

Now you went and done it! Not available up here, at least where I shop, so now you're going to have to bring some of those Americanized Italian bread crumbs north with you to Lakair for the gang to have a taste. Sounds good, betcha if you went and mixed a little Parmesan cheese in with the crumbs it would have a nice zing to it.

 

Oh yeah, I had to vote for my own secret recipe because I've never tried the commercial ones. Might try Chronzie's one of these days, after all, a guy that eats as much fish as him must have some good ideas

Hi guys.Has anyone tried old Cronzy's fishing batter mix.Been fifty years mixing it .Might be kind of crusty by now .I like the old mixes of flour salt spices crumbs and beer. Dont forget the hot oil and beans.Like watching old Cronz Hate his old reruns .Seen one run eight times in a row over a few weeks .He talks in his rants about taking kids out fishing .But he never takes any out .He takes out his old buds or the lodge owner who supplies him with a free or cut rate to push their lodge.

[Fisherman]

I use only Choronzy's mix now, even if your oil isn't quite hot enough, the fish won't stick in the pan.

[joefish]

I like Trackers Fish Crisp best!!!

 

Since it was free!!!

he's getting worse with each show . eat what? eat when?

 

eat your ego !!! that otta feed you .

 

used to tolerate the show ,,, but the batter push is too much.

 

like the cajun F. C. with flour to soften it a bit ,,S & P ,,lemonseasoning ,,

 

try to keep as much fish flav. as i can.

Prefer my own recipe, but for the last year, I have been drooling over Kraft's TarTar sauce. Guess I've eaten so much fish and tried so many batters for so long that the only thing I never ate with fish was TarTar sauce.

[Zubris21]

I like to make my own batter as well... I found fish crisp was way too salty for my liking, the original anyways, I had another flavour that wasn't too bad but I don't remember which it was. I'm also curious to know how Cronzy's batter is, but I can't justify buying batter when it tastes just as good, and is a lot cheaper to make it yourself!

[HTHM]

You forgot one option......just pure unadulterated unbattered fillets. That is my favorite.

[Casey123]

I love the Fish Crisp Beer Batter, we tried the cajun stuff.........No Thanks!

 

My wife has been making killer batter with almond flour and spices.

 

As for the Cronz, he is funny as they come, havn't trid his batter but his ranting and raving is good for some laughs.

[DanTheMan]

Since I switch over to Daryl Choronzy's Breading & Batter Mix, I will never turn back.I must say, He has made a great product and I love it.

 

If you guys havent tried, give it a shot.

[Gerritt]

I personally like the batter I make

Surprise, surprise I kind of figured you to be a cornmeal guy!

 

I make my own

[dheitzner]

i have heard from someone "in the know" that Cronzy's is the best stuff ever. not a huge fan of him personally, but on this persons reccomendation, i'll try his mix.

[Stoty]

Fish Crisp is darn good stuff and I love the cajun and beer batter, BUT

 

CRUSHED UP ALL-DRESSED CHIPS......

 

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

Has anyone else used Chips as their batter?

If not, give it a try!! YUMMY!

[Headhunter]

I like Gerritts batter too! Did a fine job on the fish up at Bernies! Normally, I just do the flour, egg wash and spiced bread crumbs and cook it all up in Lard!

Mmmmm lard!

[fishinggeek]

I might have to get me a box. I usually don't like commercial mixes because they're crazy expensive relative to the ingredient list, as well as being way too salty. What's in Chronzy's mix that doesn't make it stick? I'm guessing lecithin but I hope it's not some sort of trans fat.

[walleyejigger]

i prefer to use a pancake batter, homemade or storebought powder, and use beer for the liquid, it tastes great and doesn't absorb much oil

[doubleheader]

I had made my own until last year when we tried Uncle Buck's. That stuff is really good.

[maybe]

Now you went and done it! Not available up here, at least where I shop,

There's a copycat recipe being posted around. Couldn't tell you how accurate it is, but if you're feeling adventurous it might be worth a shot.

I will second that... Also like it with beer instead of water though...
