ISO: Fish rub and batter

[texasgirl]

I am trying to find a good homemade rub and batter for Striper bass. It is extremely fishy and not good at all!
I have a rub for channel cat(which is also fishy) but, it didn't work on the Striper.

Both of these work great with fish texasgirl.
Your Favorite Batter

I love striper & have used both of the batters in the above link & I have also soaked the filets in milk overnight, battered it with a seasoned cornmeal/flour mixture, & then fried it.

I love beer batter!! It's good on onion rings too, but, the only difference with the one that I was shown, is that it's only flour and beer. Add the beer to flour to make a pancake consistency. I'm tryin all of what you suggested when we get more striper this weekend. Thank you!!

Crewsk, I tried the rub on my bass and cat tonight, it's great. The rub that i was putting on the channel cat was mustard by itself. The louisiana hot sauce gave it just enough kick.I will definately try it on the striper!!!

Thank you so much!!

Here is a recipe I came across and love, not a rub but still delish!

The dish can be made using any of the following fillets: tilapia, sole,
flounder, catfish or orange roughy

Sauteed Tilapia With Lime

1 1/3 pounds of fish about 1/2 inch thick
1/3 cup all purpose flour
salt & pepper
1 clove garlic, minced or pressed
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 TBS lime juice
1/2 tsp margarine or butter
1 TBS olive oil
3 green onions, chopped

Rinse fish and pat dry. Put flour in a plate and season with salt &
pepper. Dredge fillets in flour, patting to remove excess. Combine
garlic, wine, lime juice and margarine in a small bowl. Heat olive
oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add fillets without
overlapping (you may need to cook in more than 1 batch). Cook until
golden on bottom, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook until opaque through
the center, 1-2 minutes more. Transfer to a platter and cover with
foil to keep warm. Add wine mixture to pan and boil, scraping up the
cooked bits, until reduced by 1/2, 2-3 minutes. Stir in onions and
heat about 30 seconds. Pour sauce over fish and serve.

Serves 4
