Ingredients

  • 2 Cups All Purpose Flour
  • 2 Cups Cornmeal
  • 2 Tablespoons Onion Powder
  • 2 Tablespoons Garlic Powder
  • 3 Tablespoons Cajun Seasoning
  • ½ Cup Yellow Mustard

Instructions

  • Mix all ingredients in a large resealable bag.
  • Add mustard to another resealable bag.
  • Drop your fish into the mustard mixture and allow to sit for about 15 minutes.
  • When you're ready to fry, (the temperature of the oil should be 350°F) take some of the fish out of the mustard and drop into the fish fry mixture, to coat completely.
  • Drop into the hot oil and fry for about 3-4 minutes. Remove and allow to drain on some paper towels.
  • Rrepeat with the remaining fish.

Notes

The longer the fish can sit in the mustard, the better. Allow to sit up to an hour at room temperature.
