How to have a successful Cajun fish fry
Having a cajun fish fry can be
a lot of fun, whether it is for a large group of people or for a
small number. Cajun spices are tasty, but they can be very hot!
Begin by choosing your own
cajun spices or plan to use a prepared cajun spice mix. If you know it might
be too hot for some people, plan to mix it with some extra flour.
Prepare for your fish fry by
filleting several, different kinds of fresh fish like pickerel, perch, pike or
trout. Frying different kinds of fish allows your guests to get to know
the difference between them. Some of your guests may already know what kind of
fish they prefer.
Depending upon how many people
you are inviting, plan to serve approximately three to five pieces of
filleted fish to each person. Some of your guests may want more.
Prepare your fish fillets, by washing them well first and
then cutting them into portion size pieces.
Using a deep fryer, begin
to heat canola oil.
Beat eggs together in a large
bowl. Dip the fish portions into the beaten eggs and then, place
them on a plate.
Prepare a mixture of
flour, salt, pepper and various cajun spices in a large plastic bag. Place
several pieces of fish at a time, into the flour mixture. Shake the
bag in order to coat the fish well.
The canola oil is ready,
when it is almost smoking hot. Carefully place the portions of
fish into the hot oil and allow them to brown. When they are ready, take
them out and place them on a large platter. Sprinkle the fried fish with vinegar.
Serve your fish fillets as
finger food along with hot French fries.
Enjoy your fish fry, knowing
that your guests will too!
