I know it's hard to believe that living in Maine I don't know how to fry seafood! But, great seafood restaurants abound here, so whenever we've wanted seafood we just went out for it. It saves having my kitchen smell like fish the next day too. Being GF now means I'm going to have to make my own. I make boiled lobsters and steamed clams at home, but I'm craving some really good fried haddock. Glad Peg's making you potato salad tonight! You must be one happy camper. _________________ Steph

I guess the days of battered haddock are over Finding a way to do fried haddock might help make this transition more palatable. --Dave

As I said in my WI Fish Fry post, Friday nights = fish fry in Wisconsin. This is something that I do miss. So, we just do it at home and invite people over Peg got me a Cool Daddy Deep Fryer as an Xmas present. Yeah, it's probably not the healthiest thing - but we only do every couple of months. Also, I figure I'm saving A LOT of body abuse since I can't go out, so we can splurge a bit once in awhile. I saw some lake perch fillets in the store recently and thought we should try them. We usually do Cod or haddock when we deep fry. For coatings - we've used the Dakota. We've used the Zatarain's Crispy Seasoned Fish Fry. While it's GF by ingredient, I have to wonder about CC issues. I'm not saying they do have CC issues, but they don't have dedicated equipment. Zatarain's is an allergen friendly labeling company and they have good manufacturing processes in place, but... Besides that, it has MSG in it. It's GF, but I'd prefer to remove it as much as possible. So, I've been messing around with making a coating from scratch. However this time, we had some open Dakota we had to use up, so I didn't work on it this time. _________________ Al “We cannot all do great things, but we can do small things with great love.” Mother Teresa

Not something you'd do every day, but we can't be perfect all the time. The other day I bought a bag of Gramma Mill's Gluten-free Seafood Batter Mix. I'm going to try it. They are actually located fairly close to me. Let us know if you come up with a good mix. Cool fryer! Peg spoils you. I have a similar fryer. I like that I can cook with the lid down. There is a filter in the lid, so it may keep the fish smell to a minimum in the kitchen. I've never used it with seafood, so not sure if it will cut down on the smell or not. I don't mind the smell of seafood when I'm cooking or eating it, I just don't want to smell it the next morning. _________________ Steph

However the cover that contains the filter is broken so it doesn't stay in place. I do my frying in the garage Yes, please let us know how it goes. Yes she does spoil me! _________________ Al “We cannot all do great things, but we can do small things with great love.” Mother Teresa
