Best fried fish I've ever made. For those who have trouble with the breading staying on, just set the fish after coating on a cookie rack for about 10 or 15 minutes and there will be no problem. Also, if the oil is not hot enough the coating will stick to the pan. I also substituted panko bread crumbs for the cornflakes and the fish was very cripsy!

Fantastic fried fish! The best better I've made. In a hugely surprising turn of events, this recipes works with haddock. I would have given it six stars, but the recipe doesn't come with tartar sauce. Imagine my dismay when I went to make some, and discovered that I had no sweet relish.

YUMMY! I didnt have any beer on hand so I used chicken stock instead. I also added some paprika and cayanne pepper. Its true that there is more batter then needed...but best to have more then not enough! I ended up using more cornflakes as well. LOVE IT!

This was okay. I didn't have cod so I used basa. I thought it was a little bland. I didn't have any problems with the cornflakes staying on fish. If I make this again I will make a thicker batter and and more cajun seasoning. Also there is enough batter to make more fish.

For those that had a problem with the batter falling off be sure to pat the fish dry with paper towel first and your oil is hot enough. If you are using a basket with your fryer do not place fish in the bottom of the basket, leave the basket on the bottom and just drop the fish into the hot oil. Doing this will keep the batter from coming off.

I didn't have corn flakes, so used fine cracker crumbs and left out the Cajun seasoning. I soaked the fish in the batter while the oil was heating. This turned out so great for a coating, that we did some shrimp also! Fantastic! Lots of leftover batter, it's true. However, I'll use this recipe on all my fried seafood. I'll never use a cornmeal coating again.

Great tasting recipe. After reading other reviews about the batter/crumbs not sticking, I decided to leave the mixture on the fish for 1/2 an hour before frying. It's a trick I use for frying chicken. It worked great for the fish too. I also added more salt to the batter.

This recipe was not well thought out, but with a few alterations, turned out yummy! First problem, there is enough batter for at LEAST 2lbs of fish meat. Second, the cornflakes aren't sticking problem. Well, what I did was I had the cornflake mixture in one bowl, batter in another, then I had a third empty bowl. I would dip the fillet in the batter on both sides, let it drip off, then hold the fillet in my hand, then sprinkle the corn flake mixture over the batter-covered fillet on both sides. Your hands get a little messy, but you save a lot of crunchy coating this way, and the fillets turned out perfect! Soo yummy. Also, one last thing I did that helped is that I put spices in BOTH the batter and in the breading. Although, I think the breading, too, needs a teaspoon or two at least of salt, it was a little bland. Or you can use whatever seasoning you want, as long as it's got that salty spice to it. Over all, I will definitely cook this recipe again, I really liked the extra crunchy coating. Make sure to get the corn flakes extra crummy or they won't stick as well! Good Job.

I don't know what happened, but this was a total disaster. The breading all fell off while cooking in the oil.

My family enjoyed the flavor and crispiness of this recipe. No doubt that it's an excellent taste. But I rated only 4 stars because it's a pain in the butt to make. I'm glad I followed the advice of a previous review that mentioned the corn flakes get gooey, so use a separate dish to coat the fillet. I had such a gummy mess on my hands each time. I will probably try other recipes before I go through this process again.

This was awesome! I didn't have corn flakes or bread crumbs, so I used 1 cup of crushed ritz crackers and 1 cup of instant potatoe flakes...Also, was not paying attention and dumped all of the spices in the crumb mixture (I also added a little dry mustard as well.) Wow!!!The breading had such a nice flavor, and I will swear by this recipe forever!!!

This was an excellent recipe, which made golden crisp fish. It was so juice on the inside and crunchy on the outside. We will tell everyone about this recipe! Thanks!!!

Very good recipe, and very easy. The batter - fish - corn crumbs proportion should be changed, though. I used the same amount of batter for 2 lbs of fish, and still have some left (had to throw away). Next time I'll plan to cook at least 3 lbs of fish with this batter. The corn crumbs have to be used not all at once, but in small portions: take as many pieces of fish as you can cook at once in a deep-frier/skillet, dip in batter and then portion of corn crumbs, and cook; throw away the crumbs as they will be soggy and will no longer stick; replace with another portion of crumbs for the next fish portion, and so on. You will probably need more corn flakes then in the original recipe, but the crumbs guarantee to stick. Also don't be shy to increase seasoning to taste - for example, more pepper, more garlic and perhaps some cayenne pepper.

I was very disappointed with this recipe. The flavor was just okay, and the cornflakes would not stick to the batter-dipped fish. Also, it needed a little more salt and a dash of Cayenne pepper to add some zip. I’ll look for another batter recipe.
