Putting fish on the table can be easy. Sharing your catch with friends or enjoying a quiet meal alone with memories of your fishing trip are excellent ways to top off the fishing experience. Deep Fried Fish Throughout the south, fish fries are an informal way of entertaining for everything from small family gatherings to community-wide fund raisers and political rallies. We have hosted several fish fries at our home, and, through trial and error, have found several shortcuts to make fish a convenient part of our regular diet.
Some people find cooking fish distasteful because of the lingering kitchen odor.
We use a deep aluminum skillet and set the stove on a table under a shade tree. When frying fish indoors, an electric fryer with a thermostat is best. Serving hot foods hot and cold food cold is an important part of food safety, as well as enhancing the overall appeal. When cooking large quantities of fish, it's helpful to use an empty ice chest to hold the cooked fish while more cooking is done. We place several large layers of paper towels in the bottom of the clean chest, then add more paper towels with each layer of fish added.
