Homemade Fish Fry Mix Recipe

I have a confession to make. I don’t fry fish most of the year, even though it’s a family favorite, especially when I use this homemade fish fry mix recipe to make the coating. The problem is that I don’t like the smell in the house. It lingers, no matter how careful you are or how well you air things out after the fact. That’s why we mostly fry fish during the summer months. It’s easy to do outside. I use an electric fryer, but you could just as easily take a cast iron pan outside and use a propane stove, a hot plate, or even the grill. Just make sure you can control the temperature of the oil so things don’t get out of control and you burn the fish… because that would be sad. If the smell of fried fish doesn’t bother you, make this year round on the stove or use your fryer in the kitchen.

Now let’s talk about the important part – the fish fry mix. You have to get this one right. Thankfully, it’s simple. Just a handful of ingredients and you’re good to go. It’s worth making this from scratch. Not only is it inexpensive, it’s fresh and there are no added preservatives or weird flavor-enhancers. Give it a try and coat your favorite fish for frying with this mixture. You’ll find the recipe below along with directions for using the mix. The homemade fish fry mix recipe is from the Homemade Mixes Kindle Cookbook.
