can you use corn meal to fry fish?

Answer 1

By all means, but don't get your oil to hot or you may burn your coating, by the time it's golden your fish is done:

FISH FRY COATING MIX

Ingredients:
1 1/2 c. yellow cornmeal
1/4 c. all-purpose flour
1 tbsp. lemon pepper
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. paprika

In a large bowl combine all ingredients. Store in an airtight container. Makes about 1 3/4 cups mix.
To prepare fried fish: Dip fish in buttermilk and roll in coating mix. To cook, fry fish in hot oil (peanut oil best) until golden brown.

Absolutely, in fact for frying catfish and often trout, it is the preferred method over flour. First flour the fish if you have flour, then dip in egg, then cornmeal. This will prevent the coating from falling off during cooking.
