Remember the fishes?

Do you remember the Loaves and Fishes post? If not, you can remember it here: Loaves and Fishes

Saturday was Loaves and Fishes part two.  Also know as Fry Day. Don't stand still too long or you might be dipped in batter and fried.  But you'll be tasty.

Every summer we have a Fry Day.  We fry everything.  Once a year and only once a year.  Always in the summer so the mess is outside.

First, Walt Kowalski, a.k.a the "Fish Master" must properly prepare the fishes. Additional trimming of any stray bones.

Washed, dried, floured, egg wash, bread crumb, then to the refrigerator to chill. 
 

 
I prepared fresh cut potatoes to add to Fry Day, along with hush puppies and cake batter.  Yes, cake batter. Ever have a funnel cake? 

All the boys that caught the fish were invited and brought additional foods.  (A proper American picnic) Some to fry, some not to fry.  All delicious. 

Here is Power Tower adding the cut potatoes.  Mrs. Power Tower also brought pickles, bananas, and strawberries to fry.

You can see the finished fishes. Yum, they were good. 

I didn't like the fried cake batter. It was too greasy for me. Everybody else said it tasted like hot donuts, but I passed after one bite.  I should have drizzled the batter like funnel cake. Instead we dropped it in balls.

We never made the hush puppies.  We had so much other food including strawberry spinach salad, chicken wings, vegetable pizza, mixed fresh vegetables in dressing, potato salad, taco dip, pineapple salsa, haluski, antipasta pasta salad, chips and salsa, s'mores brownies, and chocolate cake with peanut butter icing.

Fry Day once a year is enough for me.  Although those fresh cut fries were good. 

Hmmm, I have lots of uncut potatoes in the bin.
