Justin Wilson’s Fried Catfish batter is great on any fish. My favorite is catfish but tilapia is just as good. An absolutely wonderful recipe!
The batter gives a nice crispy crunch!
Sometimes I like to kick up the spices quite a bit. Old Bay is good!
Very good and very easy. After frying, I season with coarse salt, lemon, and parsley.
