LOUISIANA FISH FRY (CAJUN)

My sister-in-law lives in northern Louisiana, near Haughton. I go hunting with her husband every year. While there, they will always do up a mess of fish (pearch, brim, catfish, what ever is on hand). This is their sure-fire recipe for one heck of a fish fry.

Categories     Cajun

Time 1h15m

Yield 12-15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 lbs fresh water fish fillets
3 tablespoons Tabasco sauce
3 tablespoons Tony Chachere's Seasoning
2 (10 ounce) packages cornmeal (Louisiana Fish Fry)
3 cups crackers (crumbled)
5 green onions (chopped)
1 egg
1 (15 ounce) can creamed corn
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 cup cajun mustard
6 ears fresh corn (cut into thirds)
1 (10 ounce) package cornmeal (Louisiana Fish Fry)

Steps:

  • For the fish: Smear a light coating of Tabasco over the filets. Season with Tony's, then coat with Louisiana Fish Fry (or other seasoned corn meal), and place in freezer until ready to fry up. Note: You don't want the fish frozen, but very cold.
  • Deep fry in hot oil. My brother in law cooks the fish out on the deck, using a liquid propane burner and a cast iron Dutch oven. He drops an unlit kitchen match in the oil. When it ignites, the oil is ready. That's around 325-350 degrees if you want to use a thermometer. Drop a few pieces of fish in at a time. Remove when golden brown and drop into a brown paper bag to drain and keep warm until all the fish is done.
  • For the Hush Puppies: Crumble 1 1/2 sleeves of crackers by placing them in a zip lock bag and rolling with a rolling pin. Combine with remaining ingredients. Using two spoons, form into oval (foot ball shaped) balls.
  • Drop into hot oil and cook until golden brown. Turning occasionally.
  • For the Corn: Lightly coat each piece with the mustard. Coat with the fish fry, and deep fry in hot oil until golden brown.

BACKYARD CAJUN FIRE BOIL

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 to 8 lemons, cut in half
1 (4.06-lb.) package Louisiana Fish Fry Cajun Fire Crawfish, Shrimp and Crab Boil
2 lbs. onions, quartered
4 lbs. small red or new potatoes, unpeeled
12 ears corn on the cob, shucked and broken in halves
1 (approx. 35 lb.) sack crawfish, cleaned
4 lbs. large shrimp, unpeeled
3 lbs. smoked sausage, cut up into large pieces

Steps:

  • Fill an extra-large pot fitted with a basket strainer about halfway with water. Squeeze lemons into water and then add them to the pot. Bring to a rolling boil. Add seasoning mix and stir to combine. When seasoned water is boiling, add onion, potatoes and corn. Cook for 5 minutes. Next, gently add crawfish and sausage and cover the pot. Cook for 5 minutes. Add shrimp to the pot, cover and cook for 2 minutes. Remove pot from heat, cover and let sit for 15 minutes to allow seafood and vegetables to absorb flavors of spices. Lift strainer out of water and allow to drain over the pot. Carefully pour basket contents out on a newspaper-lined table outside.

Tips:

  • Use fresh fish fillets: Fresh fish fillets will yield the best results. If you are using frozen fillets, thaw them completely before cooking.
  • Season the fish fillets well: The fish fillets should be seasoned with a variety of spices and herbs to give them flavor. Some popular choices include Cajun seasoning, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
  • Dredge the fish fillets in flour: Dredging the fish fillets in flour will help to create a crispy coating. Be sure to shake off any excess flour before frying the fish.
  • Fry the fish fillets in hot oil: The oil should be hot enough to sizzle when the fish fillets are added. This will help to create a crispy coating and prevent the fish from sticking to the pan.
  • Drain the fish fillets on paper towels: After frying the fish fillets, drain them on paper towels to remove any excess oil.

Conclusion:

A Louisiana fish fry is a delicious and easy way to enjoy fresh fish. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a meal that is sure to please everyone. Whether you are frying fish for a party or a family dinner, these tips will help you to create the perfect fish fry.
