Description

📖 Get Cora-Lee's Table, all my cooking in one book: https://mrscoralee.com Soggy fish is not bad luck. It is water getting where it does not belong, oil that is not hot enough, and a fillet left sitting in its own steam. The old Southern trick that fixes it happens in the one place nobody thinks to put fried fish. In this video: 1. What soggy really is, and why it happens 2. Drying the fish, and how to tell fresh from old 3. The egg and hot sauce glue 4. Wet hand, dry hand, and shaking off the loose cornmeal 5. The trick: fifteen minutes in the refrigerator 6. Four inches of oil, and the number soggy fish lives under 7. Out onto a rack, never flat on a plate Plus the honest words on coating that slides off, greasy fish, dark outsides, and fish that goes soft after it comes out. If this helped you, subscribe. It does not cost you a thing and it keeps me talking. #friedfish #friedcatfish #southerncooking #soulfood #fishfry
