SOUTHERN FISH FRY

It’s such a beautiful Sunday which means it’s the perfect day to fry fish!


There’s nothing better than a Southern Fish Fry on a gorgeous sunny day.

Oh, and you can’t have a real Southern Fish Fry without lots of hot sauce and a glass of ice cold sweet tea.

My eldest sister just moved to Las Vegas last week so I had to show her some real southern hospitality!



Actually, the real story is this.

My sister was actually going to buy pre-fried fish from a fish market at the corner of my house!

Yes, I know, I am the Creole Contessa and my sister was actually about to purchase fish, blasphemous!
