Fried Bluegill with Remoulade Sauce

Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 8 – 10 bluegill filleted
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 teaspoons dry mustard
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • oil for frying

Remoulade Sauce

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Creole mustard
  • 2 tablespoons sweet bell peppers diced
  • 2 tablespoons green onion minced
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves minced (or sub pinch of dried basil leaves)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon Tabasco

Combine all ingredients and refrigerate for 2 – 3 hours.

    Instructions

    • Dip fish in buttermilk. Combine cornmeal, flour, mustard and salt and dredge fish in mixture. Add to 360 degree oil, one at a time, until golden brown. Season with additional salt when hot. Serve with remoulade sauce on the side.

    Notes

    Keep the fish ice cold until just before they go into the hot oil. This will ensure a moist fish with a golden brown coating.
