Fish coating/breading

Sounds good to me - I just ordered some. I usually just use plain Frying Magic.

I am interested to hear of your analysis. Have no stake in this personally and have not communicated with them since I bought my initial packages (other than placing orders). But, I am really sold on it because the flavor is so unique.

Thanks Grant,

I just ordeer some Chef's Original for my walleye filets.
I will give the misture a real go... GT and I are all over it.

Now I wish I got a percentage :) I am going to be amazed if some of y'all don't get addicted, Mike. You can try it straight, but IMHO, it is a tad better doing the 50/50 mix with std Zatarian's. http://www.zatarains.com/Products/Breadings-and-Fry-Mixes/Seasoned-Fish-Fri.aspx

Thanks Grant,
I am paying attention.
A 50/50 mixture with Zatarian's is what I will try (as soon as my walleye boat comes in...)
Pun intended -- I mean the Chef's Original mix...arrives. I have the walleye filets...
Of course, some are Canadian walleye filets (found at the store).
Sounds like a real winner to me.
That will be fun.

Okay Grant,
smile

I ordered the Zatarian's mixture too -- so that I do not blow the roof off the house
when I try this recipe. I think a cold beer is needed with this recipe and walleye filets?

Oooops Three beers ...
It will be a 50/50 mixture and that sounds good to me.
wink

Now I just need some spring open water fishing in my boat.
I have them surrounded.
I am in the count down bigtime.
Malmo Mike is watching the walleyes on his new HDS unit --ya think?

hehehe...Mike, I really hope that you enjoy it as much as I do. Again, endorsing products is not my bag unless I am absolutely sold on it and even then it is darned seldom. Now, I just need to have somebody give some reasonably good feedback here so that the rest of the world will see that I at least have taste in my mouth :)

Beer required with fish? Does a woodchuck chuck wood?

Good luck on having clear water by the opener. At this rate, we could be icefishing until June....

MCallies · Malmo Bay Bomber

Grant,
It sure is starting to look like a very late ice out and cold water temps.
I may be sitting in my boat on shore at Malmo Bay?

That is so strange after an early ice our last year...April 04, 2010.
Well -- There is always Formica Flats or Hole 19 at the Golf Course?

Please turn up the weather.
Get the perch and walleyes moving.
Daylight Savings Time change will help next Sunday though right?

Good Luck...

We use 50/50 Shore Lunch Original and Shore Lunch Cornmeal. Perfect!!

An easy one that I still like on occasion is to dip the filets in a mix of one large egg, 2 tablespoons of real spicy mustard and some sea salt. Then, roll the filets in Potato Buds...let them sit on a plate for a couple of minutes...then roll in Potato Buds again. Deep fry per usual in Canolla oil at 375F until brown and let fish rest a moment on paper toweling.

gpalma · Member

Mike, I checked their site and saw that as well. Sooo, I contacted him via his FB page and he assured me that all orders placed prior to 15 March have been shipped. His facebook page is: http://www.facebook.com/jgagnow

I will have to give it a try, I like testing out new breadings, last summer I tried Lost River breading and thought it was really good too on everything from fish to veggies! Thanks for the tip on this one.

EyesOnly · Member

Thanks for the recipe, will give it a whirl.

MCallies · Malmo Bay Bomber

Malmo Mike finally got his Chef's Original breading mix (from No Excuses Outdoors) today and the Zatarian's mixture as well a few days ago. So finally I am set to be a gourmet walleye chef du jour.

smile wink

The FEDEX package said it was on a slow snow sled from Wisconsin and they took the wrong turn at Iditarod or Unalaklete, AK. (okay I am embellishing). The Iditarod is over for this year.

Tomorrow evening walleye filets at Malmo Mike's ranch-- sauted in virgin olive oil -- with this kick butt breading mixture. It is a tough job but someone has to do it. Bobber and Doug have been coaching me too. Too much fun so little time.

Tat2jonnie eat your heart out or get the heck out here to try some. This will help my walleye fever for a few hours at least. Jon come on out I have cold ones please.

Where do you get walleyes in Colorado? Fish market...hehehehe?

MCallies · Malmo Bay Bomber

I caught them in Minnesota and froze 'em; then hauled them home in my carry on insulated cooler bag. Malmo Mike gets around. HA! That;s my story and I am sticking to it.

We can buy Candaian walleye here at the dang supermarket, but they are nor easy to find.

However, that fact is you cannot beat a Mille Lacs Lake walleye shore lunch.

Mike, the bad part about many store bought walleyes is when they were caught. Those that you buy in the store right now were not caught recently, trust me on this. Far better to dine on those that you caught that you KNOW were well taken care of :)

Let me know if anyone gets sick tonight...
