I have used a dozen or more different batters and coatings to fry my fish with...I like them all but I am curious what you folks like the best...
Give it up...

I use either a dry Zatarains batter or we use 1 egg to about 2 cups of milk and season corn meal. But I don't think you can go wrong with whatever you use.

If I am pan searing it I use panko and pecans. If deep frying, 1 part flour, 1 part cornmeal, 1 part Italian bread crumbs.

 IMHO if you want to actually taste the BEST eatin fish in the world, just drag the filets thru milk and dust with 1/2 corn meal, 1/2 flour with salt & pepper to taste then drop into hot peanut oil. I save all those other flavors for the catfish, flounder, whitefish etc.

If you want to take it to a new level.
Try soaking them in buttermilk before you shake em in yellow corn meal with Tony Chasheres seafood seasoning. When you get through eating, take a 2 hour nap and you will be heading back to the lake to get some more.

Cover filets with the thinnest possible sheen of regular old mustard, just enough to wet; then coat with this mix:
Mixture of 80 percent panko bread crumbs and 20 percent corn meal. Roll the crumbs with a rolling pin first to get a denser coating; sounds like a hassle, but only takes a couple of minutes. Add Lowry's seasoned salt and fresh ground pepper to taste.
Result is very crunchy, great tasting filets. I cut the filets into large chunks, 2-3 bites per chunk.
