Fried Fluke Poboys Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the mayonnaise, hot sauce and 1 teaspoon of the paprika in a medium bowl.
• Beat the milk and egg in a separate medium bowl. Put the flour in a shallow dish. Combine the cornstarch, cornmeal, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, 2 teaspoons salt, a few grinds of black pepper and remaining 1 teaspoon paprika in another shallow dish.
• Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer registers 375 degrees F.
• Dip the pickle slices first in the flour, tapping off any excess, then in the egg mixture. Then press them in the cornmeal mixture to coat. Fry in batches, turning once, until golden, about 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
• Split the loaves down the middle lengthwise but do not cut all the way through. Spread 2 tablespoons of the mayonnaise mixture on each loaf. Top each with 1/4 cup lettuce and 3 tomato slices. Stuff 10 fried pickles into each sandwich. Serve with more hot sauce.

Steps:

• Marinate the mushrooms: Whisk the buttermilk and 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning in a large bowl, then add the portobellos and toss to coat. Refrigerate for 4 hours.
• About 30 minutes before frying, make the slaw: Whisk the olive oil, vinegar, mustard, sugar, mustard seeds, garlic, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper in a bowl. Add the coleslaw mix, red cabbage and scallions; toss lightly. Season with salt and pepper to your liking. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Bread the mushrooms: Combine the flour, remaining 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning, the baking powder and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a large shallow dish. Remove the mushrooms from the buttermilk marinade and coat in the seasoned flour (you can also shake the mushrooms with the seasoned flour in a paper bag). Shake off any excess flour and transfer the breaded mushrooms to a large plate.
• Fill a large cast-iron skillet halfway with vegetable oil and fit the skillet with a deep-fry thermometer; heat the oil to 350˚ F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels and set a rack on top.
• Add 6 to 8 mushroom slices to the hot oil and cook 3 to 4 minutes, then flip and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 more minutes. Remove to the rack. Repeat with the remaining mushrooms.
• Make the sandwiches: Lay the tomatoes and pickles on the bottoms of the bread, then top with the fried mushrooms, red onion and slaw. Close the sandwiches and cut each loaf in half.

Steps:

• Preheat 1-inch of oil in a deep skillet over medium to medium-high heat.
• Beat egg and milk together. Pull tails off shrimp. Salt shrimp then soak in milk batter. Before you begin breading the shrimp, cover a plate with plastic wrap for easy clean up then mix together the flour, cornmeal or bread crumbs and seafood seasoning on the plate. Using tongs, remove a few shrimp at a time and coat in breading. Add breaded shrimp to the hot oil and fry them 5 to 6 minutes or until firm and deeply golden all over.
• Pile lettuce and tomato on rolls and top with shrimp, douse the shrimp with a little lemon juice. Mix relish, mustard and hot sauce and dot the roll tops with spoonfuls of the sauce before setting into place.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large sauce pan or preheat a deep fryer to 360 degrees F. Season the shrimp with 1 tablespoon of the Essence, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the cayenne. In a medium mixing bowl combine the flour and cornmeal and season with the remaining 2 tablespoons of the Essence, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon cayenne. Dredge the shrimp in the seasoned flour mixture, coating the shrimp completely. Fry the shrimp in the hot oil, in batches if necessary, until golden brown, stirring constantly, about 4 minutes. Remove from the oil and drain on a paper-lined plate. Season with salt and hot sauce. Split the French bread loaves in half and brush both cut sides of the bread with some of the melted butter. Using a spatula, spread the mayonnaise on both sides of the bread, then sprinkle with hot sauce. Divide the shrimp evenly between the 2 sandwiches and garnish with the lettuce, tomato slices, sliced pickles and hot sauce, if desired. Serve with potato chips.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly.
