I even like it steamed, and yes ~~ somewhat slimy! :) <br /><br />Congrats on becoming a grandma...you are in for a loving treat!

I also like to use Zatarain's or Louisiana Fish Fry instead of the cornmeal/flour. To mix things up, I like to use the Fish Fry that has a touch of lemon. <br /><br />First time to your blog... looking forward to reading more.Debbie in MShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05297581188154833080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2217865439414905267.post-50102360115221303652010-08-27T10:40:19.127-07:002010-08-27T10:40:19.127-07:00YUM!

I do it that way because that is how my mother and grandmother did it. So funny how those sorts of things are handed down.<br /><br />Christi @ A Southern Life<br />http://asouthernlife.comSouthernGalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13050824377929181016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2217865439414905267.post-76513654292960995692010-08-26T21:15:09.603-07:002010-08-26T21:15:09.603-07:00Hey!!
