Batter For The Pan

I just wanted to share some special batter recipes for those tasty panfish fillets. After a few days of successful fishing, you can enjoy a special Lake Erie Fish dinner. There are many ways to enjoy these fish, but I feel the only true way is to deep fry fillets. First, make sure you rinse fillets thoroughly and store properly. The taste of fresh fish is so much better than buying any fish from a store or restaurant. An avid angler knows this and can taste the difference. So when you are ready to take those fillets out of the fridge for frying, try these batter recipes.
Recipe 1 fresh panfish fillets, 1 cup flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons paprika, 12 oz of beer, shot of lemon juice. Combine ingredients into mixing bowl, and draw fillets carefully through beer batter until completely coated. Drop into oil. ( A nice basic beer batter recipe)
Recipe 2 fresh panfish fillets, 2 eggs, 1 cup of milk, teaspoon sage, teaspoon cayenne pepper, teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon thyme, 1 cup of flour. Combine ingredients in mixing bowl, place fillets in batter to stick to fish, Drop in oil. (This one is a bit spicy due to the pepper)
Recipe 3 fresh panfish fillets, 10 0z of potato chips chopped thoroughly, 1 teaspoon onion salt, 1 teaspoon garlic salt, 1 teaspoon seafood seasoning, 1 tablespoon parsley flakes, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, 1 tablespoon grated Romano cheese, 4 oz milk, 1 egg. Combine ingredients and then roll in chopped up potato chips to evenly coat, drop into hot oil. (This one I created by experimenting with different ingredients)
These are my favorite three, hope you enjoy. I suggest trying many different batters to find the one that most pleases your family.
