The best batter that I've ever had! We prepared it just as directed and it was great. I'm not even a big fish either, but I went back for seconds. This will be our go to recipe when it comes to fish fries from now on.

More flakes are required. This was a nice and crispy coating however, it lacked flavor. I think you should season your fish as your normally would use the batter mix and the flakes without the salt.

Two weeks ago I made it with fresh Cod. Yummy. Tonight I made the exact same thing, but with cube steak and had really yummy Country Fried Steak... I needed more corn flakes both times

Very tasty. I substituted crushed crackers for the cornflakes and the Cajun seasoning with Old Bay. I also sprinkled some chili powder into the mix to add to the flavor. When coating the fish, I followed some member reviews to use a portion of the crumbs/seasoning a little at a time to coat the fish so as to not let the mixture get soggy. When serving, I added some tabasco sauce to it to give it a little kick. Enjoy!

Great flavors to this fish. The whole family enjoyed it. I used canola oil to fry in, and followed this recipe as given.

Good job. My girls don't usually like fried fish but really enjoyed this. I subbed saltines for the cornflakes and added cajun seasoning only to the slurry rather than the crumbs. This one goes into the rotation.

Not sure how this works. My boyfriend found this recipe and we used it for fish tacos, but it turned out so good, we decided to just have fish sticks (better than any frozen fish ever) This is a great, easy recipe. I love to cook too. We should exchange recipes.

To me this came out way too oily. I couldn't finish the fish. I give it a three because it could have been my fault, I may have left the fish in the oil too long, I'm not a fish expert yet. Not sure I'll try again.

Very good recipe. Used fresh-caught white bass in place of cod. Really helped cover the "gaminess" of the fish.

Made this tonight for dinner and it was great! Served it with the dill sauce from Hudsons Baked Tilapia w/ Dill Sauce on this site. I added a teaspoon of Old Bay and a teaspoon of Cajun seasoning to the breading mixture.

Very very good. Used talapia instead of cod, since that's what I had on hand. Ran out of Cajun spice before I wanted to, but was still happy with the results. The corn flakes made a nice and crispy coating. Yum.

great recipe even for a fish frying "newbie" like me...things were going great (thanks to a thermometer in the oil, helping me keep a proper temp) until my son (3 years old) decided to take a closer look and dumped over the entire bowl of batter (where the fish was bathing in the batter) onto the waiting floor. What I DID fry, was very very good. Oh, and pay close heed to the review which specifies to use the corn flakes in succession, otherwise, you end up with a bowl of mushy cornflake crumbs that won't stick to the fish! p.s. I added just a bit (maybe a half cup) of yellow cornmeal to the batter.

Wow - this is great, my whole family loved it. I didn't change a thing. What I would do is make less of the liquid mixture - 1 c. of beer and 3/4 c. flour should be plenty.

Another 5 star recipe from my cooking comrades at allrecipes! This a.m. this little King Mackerel was swimming in the Caribbean and tonight he was soaking in Elden's batter. I used Carib beer and added 1/2 t cayenne and 1 t Shula's (the best hot sauce ever!) to the wet batter. I skipped the corn flakes and used corn meal instead. Then I made sure my oil was good and hot. Perfect! Big hit at our house!

An ok recipe, didn't really like the cornflakes, everything else seem to work ok though. Had a little trouble getting them battered and dipped in dry mixture, but on second attempt using bread crumbs instead of cornflakes, they were much better, but still not a favortie. Don't think I'll try again.

Everyone's favorite catfish at our fry for the wonderful flavor. Cornmeal lovers preferred "Will's Spicy New Orleans Catfish Fries". We added 1 t salt to the cracker mix, soaked the fish in the batter while our oil heated up, and used cracker crumbs. This fish doesn't stay crispy, so eat it fresh out of the oil!
