I tried this recipe tonight and the fish was phenomenal.  I didn't try the tartar sauce recipe so I am not sure about it but my husband loved it with ranch dressing.

Hi G8orgirl,  :)

Sounds good!

I've done this with crushed pork rinds instead of carbquik and the fish was absolutely phenomenal!
Good with most all fish especially catfish!!! YUMMY!!!  ;D ;D ;D

One thing you might add to your tartar sauce to make it authentic is 1 tsp. cream of tartar.

Hi Mouseissue,

I actually got the idea from one of your posts, but the hubby didn't want to use the crushed pork rinds...I think next time I will use them and just not tell him  ;D  The Carbquik was pretty good, but I found that if you are using a deep fryer and you like them crispy you have to keep them in 6 minutes.  I didn't make the tartar sauce, but I will try it next time.  The ranch dressing that we made the night before for dipping chicken wings was a really good substitute :)

Good idea!

It's MUCH cheaper and your hubby will never know the difference!  ;)

Beer and pork rinds were intended to be married with fried fish.
Ask any southern boy worth his salt!
