Fish Crisp or Batter, Which is best

I was going to ask that question. do most of you pan fry your fish crisp or deep fry? I usually pan fry but was considering deep frying on my next trip up.

Wow, thanks for all the suggestions guys! Looks like fish crisp is the winner but we might have to bring a few different flavours. The reason I asked was because I didn't have any fish crisp for our new years day catch so I made up my own. It was about as easy as it gets.

2 cups of saltine crackers crushed up fine, 1 tablespoon (or so) of Clubhouse vegatable seasoning and a tablespoon of parmasean cheese. Mix it up and melt some butter in a baking dish while the oven is preheating. When butter is melted remove baking dish from the oven, dip fish in the butter and then in the mixture then back in the baking dish. I sprinkle some extra mix on top if they don't coat real well. Bake for 30-35 min at 350.

That's it. Both my boys (age 8 and 5) asked for more. That's not surprising from my 8 year old cause he's a walking garbage pail and will eat pretty well anything but it's absolutely unheard of for my 5 year old to ask for more of anything.

Anyway thanks again for all the replies and if your out of crisp, give the above a try sometime, it was very good (easy and only a few dishes to clean too which is a bonus).

Does anyone deep fry the fish crisp?

Shhhhhhhhh, you had me at deep fry. lol

yes, we've tried every combination/style etc.

In the end.never had a bad meal yet of walleye

I use the regular Fish Crisp together with the Bass Pro "Uncle Bucks" Batter Mix.

I use 1 tablespoon of each , shake up the fillets in a plastic bag and then fry with a mixture of Olive Oil and melted butter.

i love cajun fishcrisp. see you guys friday morning. hope there is a ceasar with that breakfast!!!!

About an inch of oil in a cast iron frying pan works real good for beer batter and all other fish crisps.
