My favorite is blackend on an iron skillet on the outdoor BBQ side burner with melted butter or olive oil. It keeps the smoke out of the house and mess.

Make a buffet style bowls for soft taco sides. Diced tomato, ripe avocado, lettuce cabbage slaw, onions, varieties of fresh salsas, tomato, pinapple mango, sliced lime, cilantro, sour cream, cheese, spices and seasonings, etc. and let people doctor them up for their taste. It's not the simplest method, but my go to method to please a crowd.

For something different when frying, Japanese tempura batter or beer batter and add some jumbo shrimp or prawns and squash, asparagus.

You just made my mouth water, just a little bit

Yes Sir!

i love McCormick Beer Batter and just a little Slap Ya Mama sprinkled over it.yum!

Now I'm hungry, I just keep it simple yellow corn meal, Lawry's seasoned salt and Black Pepper.
Go light on the Lawry's it can get a little salty if you use too much.
Mix all three together, rub on a wet "just water " on the fillet , drop it in the oil and when they float it's time
