INSTRUCTIONS
* Note: See the "Bayou Blast - {Emeril's Creole Seasoning}" recipe which is
included in this collection.
In a small bowl combine mayonnaise, capers and pickles; season with 1 1/2
teaspoons Bayou Blast, or to taste, making it very spicy if you wish. In a
deep-fryer or a large, high-sided skillet heat oil to 370 degrees. Season
flounder inside and out with salt and pepper. In 3 shallow bowls season
flour, eggs and cornmeal with 1 tablespoon of Creole spice, each. Dredge
flounder first in flour, then in eggs. Add any remaining flour to cornmeal
and mix it up. Dredge fish thoroughly in cornmeal mixture, patting to make
it adhere. When oil is popping gently lower in fish and deep-fry 3 to 4
minutes, turning once or twice, until fish comes to surface and is browned
and crisp. Drain on paper towels and serve with tartar sauce and fried
julienned potatoes. This recipe yields 1 serving.
