Experience a New Orleans favorite at home

Bring the spirit of The Big Easy to your kitchen with Zatarain's Seasoned Fish Fri. This fully seasoned, corn-based breading mix carries a bright lemon note and a savory blend of red pepper, garlic, and onion. The result is a golden crust that enhances seafood and even fried vegetables, offering a satisfying crunch with every bite. The same corn base as Wonderful Fish-Fri, but with a bolder seasoning profile that complements a range of dishes.

Whether you’re guiding a weeknight dinner or planning a casual fry-up, this mix helps you get flavorful results with less guesswork. It pairs well with catfish, shrimp, and oysters, and it also elevates fried vegetables like okra or even breaded chicken for a home-style fry that captures Southern warmth and aroma.

Three easy cooking methods

• Deep fry: dip, coat, and fry in hot oil until a light golden brown for a crisp crust.
• Pan fry: shallow fry to achieve a balanced, evenly browned finish.
• Bake: spread on a sheet and bake to a golden, even coating.

Coating options and tips

• Dust lightly for a delicate crust that lets the fish shine through.
• For a thicker coating, dip in 1/2 cup milk with 1 lightly beaten egg before coating.

Practical uses and sensory notes

Expect a savory aroma and a crisp, golden crust with a subtle lemon brightness. The mix is versatile enough to enhance catfish, shrimp, oysters, fried okra, peppers, and even occasional fried chicken, providing a convenient way to add Southern-style texture and color to weeknight meals.
