Feeling better today?

I'm getting there. Still sweating and coughing... Thid flu is no joke this year. It's almost been a week and I still feel bad. I'll get it together. Thanks for asking.

Sunny

Get lots of fluids and lots of rest!!! I remember when my ex-husband had the flu, the doc told him he had to get to a point where he would rather die then live through it before he would start to get better. It was awful.....and of course men are such babies.

Thanks for the fry fish tips So when you do all that you are using the whole fish right? Just cleaned and scaled?

Not me - I am way too much the spoiled Amercian. I buy it already cut up and ready to cook! Same with chicken and pork - boneless and skinless.

I will admit to buying skinless chiken, only when i stew it

I can't be bothered to fight with any bones. I need a good recipe for stewed pork. Got any?

Can't help u there, i only do stew chicken and fish, but the slice fish like kingfish

Can't help either...sorry. Don't do pork at all.

So how do you all fry fish? What type of fish? What type of seasonings? Just trying to get some ideas

This is what I do.

I wash the fish in salt and lemon juice, let it dry. In a bowl, I mix up seasoning, black pepper, a just touch of white salt, becuase the seasoning all ready have enough salt in it. Then I rub not sprinkle...I rub it inside the fish and outside and let it sit for a little. Then I make the oil really hot...hot hot hot (but don't BURN it). I love spicy food and I love it when the fish have a little kick to it, so I drop 1/2 of scoth bonnet pepper in the oil (DISCLAIMER) you might want to open your windows or go stand somewhere else until the pepper burn off or your eyes are going to burn like hell. If you don't want it to be too hot (spicy) take out the seeds. That's the hottest part of the pepper. Then u just fry dem one by one. I also make little slits in the sides of the fish. Saw my grandmother do that, she say the seasoning will soak into the fish while it's frying. Then you all done. Enjoy your meal. Oh, one more very important thing...

What time is dinner?

I mix my seasoning with flour and thanks for the reminder that i need to buy some.

I use flour with mine as well. And I like to cook it outside - no stink!!

I have no outside, my grandmother suggested i boil some floral disinfectint on the stove with some water to get rid of the smell, I haven't tried it yet, maybe tonite...we get this stuff from england called zflora comes in different scents like roses and bouquet...maybe English can suggets a subsitute..

UGH!!! The smell of fried fish would have me gagging all over the house when I was little. i could not even be inthe house when my mother cooked it. It was horrible to me. She never made me eat it either something about fried fish didnt agree with me. She used cornmeal in her batter too...yuk! I love fried fish now, I actually bake my fish more than fry it...don't eat much fried foods, but I season it with lots of stuff and flour and milk to make a pastey batter then fry it.
