PRO TIP
We enjoy deep frying fish outdoors with the 4-gallon Bayou Classic propane fish fryer with stainless steel baskets — easy cleanup and no smell. If you use a small fryer indoors, you can mask the smells after fish frying by simmering lemons or oranges in water on your stovetop for about 20 minutes.
PRO TIP TWO
Load a plain old hotdog bun with TARTER SAUCE, American cheese and deep fried fish and enjoy a tasty seadog!
