Wes I'm so glad your back, and wanted you to know and to Thank you. Because of what you have been doing, it helped saved my husband's life. His A1c started out at 9.7 in June when diagnosed with diabetes. It's is 5.4 and needs reduced by half for type 2. You have an amazing pallette and saved my Hyde many of times from these tests. You look amazing as well. Im riding this train with my husband and we both have lost nearly 80lb together. Thank you dearly for all these efforts. Sometimes people need to know they are appreciated. And that I do have for you and respect.
Thank you so much for the heartfelt comment! Congratulations on all the hard work you and your hubby have put in and the successes you’ve enjoyed together. Keep up the great work! 🧡
I do the same. Make a big batch when pork rinds are on special. I dust with either oat fibre or bamboo fibre and always fry with avocado oil. Always successful for fish, chicken, whatever and you can't taste the pork flavour
Woohoo, Wes is back! Pork panko breading is so good. I have been doing some chicken tenders like this recently and it is really good. I usually put the seasoning in the pork rinds instead of the egg but I don't think it makes much of a difference. I don't even really eat many pork rinds any more so I just grind grind up the whole bag in my food processors and use as needed.
1. You are looking amazing!! 2. I cook a lot of fish (walleye) because hubs goes to Lake Erie fishing frequently during the summer. I find, after I 'bread' it (regardless of what I use), if I put the fish on a rack on a baking sheet...and put it in the fridge for a 1/2 hour or so...it tends to keep the breading ON the fish, not in the hot oil.
My daughter is allergic to coconut so I use oat fiber as the first coating before the egg wash and sometimes mix a little Parmesan into the pork rind crumbs for chicken & fish
I love using pork panko as breading. Instead of coconut/almond flour, I use oat fiber as a dredge. It has zero carbs and as far as I can tell it works just like AP flour.
Wes, the dredge in coconut flour before the egg batter likely made a BIG difference when frying foods (chicken, fish, etc.). Before Keto, I always dredged in flour, then beaten egg, then panko or cracker or dried bread crumbs. This was a technique I was taught be a friend who worked as a cook in a restaurant and that was their process. It helps the 3rd step/final coating stick better and it does really help with keeping the protein moist. I've used oat fiber mixed with coconut flour for the 1st dredging step. And for me, Old bay all the way🙃.
For batter n fry methods, I've tried almond flour, coconut flour, protein powder & pork rinds. My fave so far is to double dredge - first using protein powder, then pork rinds. I'll keep it real though. I'm too lazy for that so I go right from the egg to the pork rinds. 😋 Great video! Sometimes trial & error recipe comparisons can get overwhelming (not your video but testing them out for myself) so these technique differences are much appreciated for more everyday cooking.
When I got home, my day got so much better when I saw the notification for your video!😁 Wes, you really look so much thinner! Thank you for another great video. I really appreciate your time and effort in researching these recipes and techniques. Also, thank you for sharing all of these websites. There are so many that I've turned to for inspiration thanks to you. ♥️♥️♥️
I made this tonight. I added some "tartar" sauce of mayo, lemon juice, dill pickles chopped, capers, and dill weed..it was Fabulous! So glad to have something different for dinner for a change! Thank you!
1. I LOVE your channel and I am SO happy that you are back to posting - we missed you! 2. I have used YOUR interpretation of pork rind breading for a couple of years now (since your Chicken Tender Battle!) and have agreed with you that it was generally the best option out there. (even though it can taste a bit "pork-rind-y") 3. You have GOT to try Indigo Nili's version. It is AMAZING. It doesn't fall/slip off like many breadings do. It is super crunchy. It tastes amazing. It absolutely cuts the amount of "pork rind-y" taste to almost nil. It works for everything fried!!! Fish. Fried Chicken( and strips/nuggets!). Pork chops. ONION RINGS!!! You can prepare a bulk batch ahead and flavor to taste when you use it - Ranch, Cajun, Italian, TexMex, "Southern"!, etc. 4. Here is a link to her main recipe for this technique, but she has a few other videos showing specific applications: ua-cam.com/video/YS-c8yQlf6M/v-deo.html
I still use very fine corn meal--more like corn flour--for catfish. It only has 12 net carbs per tablespoon, and that's enough for 2 catfish fillets, and it DEFINITELY has the best flavor and fries the best..
I totally agree with you on the air fryer to oil frying.it takes me 45 minutes to get chicken wings to the crispiness I like and by then there over done
Hey Wes welcome back...I've been using the pork rind panko for a long while and it works beautiful. The only thing different is that I use a grass-fed based whey before the egg wash, and it works well for chicken fried steak, fried chicken, fish, venison, veggies, etc etc and my favorite of all pork chops all of which I do in my air fryer, and it turns out fantastic....i always hand smash my rinds for 30-40 secs in the bag then into the processor for 40-50 secs more leaving a very fine breading to work with...beats having to oil it all up in a skillet
I'm gonna try this. Looks great, though I tend to season the fish, then add the batter. The seaoning tends to get into the batter as it cooks and I feel I can control it better. But if someone thinks otherwise, pls let me know. I'm willing to reconsider. The post below, about the lady's husband's A1c going down, is inspiring. We have done so well on keto this year, and we've gotten several people close to us to join us, too. I do recommend your channel, Wes, to hopefully get people to see they can keep eating tasty, "normal" food on low carb or keto - but without all the carbs (with only a few). Your channel helps a lot of us! I make certain things I've learned about here all the time now - especially those seed crackers - we're crazy about them!
If you going to air fry fish start with mostly frozen fish. It will make it cook longer and will get crispier. You will have to work with time. I cook mine around 36 min @400 deg F.
"Sift ya'll". Love it. I have to tell you I was watching Steve from Serious Keto and he was doing a recipe with almond flour (I think it might have been a packaged mix, I can't remember) and he said something to the effect of I'm not going to sift ya'll with a giggle and then said I know you know where that comes from. I loved it! I even use the phrase when using regular flour for my non-keto recipes for others. Greatest saying ever!!
This is the recipe I use. Whole30 + Keto Fish and Chips This Keto Fish and Chips Recipe is a low carb crispy + crunchy pan fried fish filets with tartar sauce + keto french fries! Prep Time 10 mins Cook Time 10 mins Total Time 20 mins Course: Main CourseCuisine: American Servings: 4 Calories: 213 Author: Natalie Equipment cast iron skillet Ingredients Fish 4 6-ounce wild caught cod filets 1 cup pork rind panko 2 eggs 3 tablespoons avocado oil salt Serving whole30 + keto french fries whole30 + keto tartar sauce whole30 + keto herby lemon coleslaw Instructions Pat the fish filets completely dry. Set up your dredging station. In a small container, beat the 2 eggs. In another container, add the pork rind panko. Coat the fish. First, dip in the egg, then dip in the pork rind panko, pressing to adhere. Repeat with all fish filets. Heat your cast iron skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add in the avocado oil and heat for 1 more minute. Add in the coated fish filets. Cook for 4-5 minutes, then flip when golden brown and cook another 2-4 minutes until the fish has an internal temperature of 125ºF. Remove from the heat, sprinkle with fresh salt, and let the filets rest on a wire baking rack. This will keep them extra crispy and prevent a soggy bottom! Serve warm. I highly suggest topping with tartar sauce and serving along with keto french fries and herby lemon coleslaw! Leftovers will keep in an airtight container for at least 1 week. Notes Fish: My preferred fish is wild caught cod, but you could use any firm white fish such as mahi mahi, ono, halibut, even salmon would work! Breading: Hands down the best low carb + keto friendly breading for this is pork rind panko. It gets so crispy and crunchy! You could use almond flour instead, but it just doesn't get as crispy. Same cooking method for almond flour. Nutrition Calories: 213 | Total Carbs: 0.2g | Protein: 23.7g | Fat: 12.6g | Fiber: 0g | Net Carbs: 0g
Glad to see you are back! I no longer use almond flour at all. Pork panko is my favorite for the "breading" but I use whatever I have on hand or is expiring or reaching its "best by" date like carbalose flour, cheap grated parmesan cheese, ground golden flaxseed, shredded coconut with coconut flour. I use the dredge technique so I use carbalose flour, coconut flour, unflavored whey protein, egg white powder or oat fiber for that. I've stopped ordering the carbalose flour so I'm just using it up now as I am moving toward a much cleaner keto now. When I remember I put some seasoning in all dredging step mixtures so there is still some if losing a bit of breading but when it sticks I want the flavor to hit my tongue from the outside in. I also use paprika and onion powder but no thyme. I'll try that next time!
Very nice crispy fish recipe ! 🤤 Will definitely try the one with coconut flour, a salad and hot pepper sauce... Thanks for sharing ! Great that you are back !
Hi Wes!!! As soon as I got this notification, I clicked on it so fast!! Hello from rainy Queensland Australia! Thank you for your videos! We appreciate it so much!! 🙏
Hi Wes! You look goooood! So happy to see you back. Thanks for the video. Perhaps you can share your motivation for your commitment to Keto sometime. I’m struggling with maintenance. Though I’m mostly low carb, I can’t seem to get back into strict keto and my appetite has increased. I admire your perseverance. ❤️❤️❤️
Wes, I seriously love you! I recently discovered your channel. In August my husband and I realized we really needed to start eating very low carb due to my husbands health concerns and I've been learning all that I can about LCHF and IF since then. I've lost 15lbs and my husband has lost 30!! I very much enjoy your videos and I learn so much (and I laugh a lot too!) So thank you for making me smile & laugh while I learn things!! 🥰 you are so helpful.
Wes is back! Pork panko is the best. You can also mix it with almond/coconut flour or even add some parm, depending on what ingredients you have on hand. I usually mix them if I don't have enough panko.
Let me tell you why I keep coming back Wes. You always make me laugh. You are entertaining to watch with your funny little southern comments & expressions & trust me I love them because I'm a southern girl. Thank you for saving me from so many things that I just know I wouldn't have liked. Keep the good stuff coming!
Same! My family is from the south so I grew up on fried pork chops in the cast-iron skillet! Now that I’m keto I cook them with pork rinds and I also make a gravy with drippings from the pan and heavy whipping cream!
This was a great video! I use Pork rinds mixed with some Almond flour all the time! LOVE it!! I wanted to share with you with a fish suggestion. I don't like a real strong "fishy" tasting fish. I found one that is absolutely wonderful. It is called Swai fish. It doesn't have a real strong fishy taste at all. It has more of a buttery taste that when breaded with a little almond flour and the pork rinds is the best fish you will ever taste. Just a tip for people that are like me with the strong fishy taste. You can pick it up at Walmart. I have sure missed your videos!
Im glad you found a fish you like, but you may want to read up on Swai. It’s the bottom of the barrel when it comes to mass produced/farmed fish. Then again, lobsters and shrimp are the cockroaches of the sea, so it is what it is! 😂
Yeah I was about to say, when I make fried fish I coat it I Coconut flour, egg, & then ground pork rinds. I've never tried it in Almond flour. My hubs is allergic to Almonds
I use a pork crumbs and parmesan mix, my favorite way for fried fish, pork chop, and things like that. My non-keto family thinks it just as good or better as old SAD way of making. Fried chicken is just ok with it, but I have very high standards for fried chicken, so far no method or ingredients compare my old recipe. But on good side eating ketovore, I miss it less. And making oven baked chicken skin chips is amazing.
It's been awhile since I've watched your channel, mainly because I wasn't eating keto. Now I'm back on keto and still love your channel. You look great! I've used pork rinds panko to make chicken parmesan. You really can't tell!
I cannot use pork rinds and have tried the gribenes/fried chicken skins. They work well…until I discovered the maker also made pork rinds and they use the same equipment/oil/etc. Or at least they were not able to tell me they didn’t. So I’m stuck with nut flours. Although I haven’t tried lupin yet ;)
Hi Wes. I’m wondering, could you also add Parmesan to the breading crumbs for a richer flavor? I can’t experiment because of a dairy intolerance 😢. But let me know if you try it 😊
You might want to give grapeseed oil a try as your frying medium. It's a very high smoke point oil, adds no odor or flavor, and most importantly doesn't fill your house with that "fried Food" smell. It's a bit on the expensive side, but I filter it into mason jars once cooled and use it again for similar frying (one jar for fish only, one for "sweet", and one for everything else). I end up only needing to add an ounce or 2 for each new fry.
Grapeseed oil isn’t a very healthy oil to use, especially for exposure to heat. It’s a seed oil, high in pufas and it breaks down into toxic compounds after being exposed to too much heat, light, or air. It should definitely not be used for frying for anyone. But it’s a seed oil like canola, etc - not recommended for a keto diet.
Coconut flour has its uses but not in breading. It absorbs liquid so that's why the first fish was not as moist, I just figure the coconut flour is the culprit. I find just the parma/pork rind panko is the absolute crispiest best IME. And anyway I've been off nut flours for many months now.
Yup, I was surprised to see that I had been unsubscribed. Recipes look delish and I have the ground-up pork rinds. I did find Salt and Pepper! rinds. at Dollar Tree.
Welcome back, Wes! Hope we see you much more often. Didn't realize you are now in San Diego, thought you were in Florida. Guess I missed something. Thanks for all you do for us!
It Just so happened that my husband made keto fried fish, tonight, for dinner. He used whiting fish, an egg wash and pork rinds, for the coating. So delicious ! 😋
To explore the combinations better, should have tried the Coconut Flour 'undercoat' with the Pork Rind as well. Good job doing both with the same seasoning.
Hey Wes, glad you are back. You look 👀 great and I’m glad to see you healthy! I, like many, don’t find almond flour a satisfying breading. I’ll share my twist on using the pork panko. I use half pork panko and half finely grated Parmesan cheese, I get a satisfying crunch from this. I add my spices to the panko mixture. I dredge in egg white powder, eggs, panko mix. I dredge all of my protein, then I let it sit for about 5 minutes before frying. For some reason this seems to help the breading stay on better. I’m looking forward to your future videos 💞
I agree on the nut flour fatigue. I just threw away probably $30 worth of almond flour that sat in my freezer for years untouched. I do no like it in anything anymore!
I came up with about 50/50 mixture of almond flour and blended pork rinds about a year ago for my pork chops and have been using this "panko" ever since. I felt that pork rinds alone were a bit too "porky". Am going to try pork rinds after dredging in coconut flour and see what difference that makes. Love your vlog!
Actually, I prefer to process almonds to a meal consistency rather than use almond flour for texture reasons. I also add seasoning to both the egg dredge and the coating unless I use the pork rinds which I also like. Another idea I had that worked was using corn fiber as the flour dredge before the egg instead of coconut or other flour.
I’m so happy you’re back. You look great btw. Are you working out also? As always great video looks yummy. Your videos have helped me with my keto journey.
They started also making pork rinds and did not respond to my inquiry regarding their process in cleaning/separation between batches. Since I can’t eat pork I had to stop using them. They are also very expensive :)

Thank you so much for the heartfelt comment! Congratulations on all the hard work you and your hubby have put in and the successes you’ve enjoyed together. Keep up the great work! 🧡
I use my blender for my pork panko, it makes them a lot finer. Then I put them in a zip lock and freeze, it helps take away the pork flavor
Interesting, I never thought to freeze my ground pork rinds.
Oh wow..... Really??
@@irishpixierose thank you, i will try this. 🌟

Equipment
cast iron skillet
Ingredients
Fish
4 6-ounce wild caught cod filets
1 cup pork rind panko
2 eggs
3 tablespoons avocado oil
salt
Serving
whole30 + keto french fries
whole30 + keto tartar sauce
whole30 + keto herby lemon coleslaw
Instructions
Pat the fish filets completely dry.
Set up your dredging station. In a small container, beat the 2 eggs. In another container, add the pork rind panko.
Coat the fish. First, dip in the egg, then dip in the pork rind panko, pressing to adhere. Repeat with all fish filets.
Heat your cast iron skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add in the avocado oil and heat for 1 more minute.
Add in the coated fish filets. Cook for 4-5 minutes, then flip when golden brown and cook another 2-4 minutes until the fish has an internal temperature of 125ºF.
Remove from the heat, sprinkle with fresh salt, and let the filets rest on a wire baking rack. This will keep them extra crispy and prevent a soggy bottom!
Serve warm. I highly suggest topping with tartar sauce and serving along with keto french fries and herby lemon coleslaw!
Leftovers will keep in an airtight container for at least 1 week.
Notes
Fish: My preferred fish is wild caught cod, but you could use any firm white fish such as mahi mahi, ono, halibut, even salmon would work!
Breading: Hands down the best low carb + keto friendly breading for this is pork rind panko. It gets so crispy and crunchy! You could use almond flour instead, but it just doesn't get as crispy. Same cooking method for almond flour.

Your tip and technique are the same thing that Wes said AND demonstrated.
Not quite sure why you copied and pasted this. Kind of redundant.
Glad to see you are back! I no longer use almond flour at all. Pork panko is my favorite for the "breading" but I use whatever I have on hand or is expiring or reaching its "best by" date like carbalose flour, cheap grated parmesan cheese, ground golden flaxseed, shredded coconut with coconut flour. I use the dredge technique so I use carbalose flour, coconut flour, unflavored whey protein, egg white powder or oat fiber for that. I've stopped ordering the carbalose flour so I'm just using it up now as I am moving toward a much cleaner keto now. When I remember I put some seasoning in all dredging step mixtures so there is still some if losing a bit of breading but when it sticks I want the flavor to hit my tongue from the outside in. I also use paprika and onion powder but no thyme. I'll try that next time!
We've been able to find pork rinds at Walmart and Aldi's. Can't wait to try the pork rinds on my next fish fry. Thank you for another great video!
Thanks for keeping in the hot frying sound - there's something so satisfying about it.
Welcome back!
Just did this pork panko with fresh grouper. Omg so good. I used clean bacon fat to fry.
Ohh, I LOVE grouper!
Very nice crispy fish recipe ! 🤤 Will definitely try the one with coconut flour, a salad and hot pepper sauce... Thanks for sharing ! Great that you are back !
Hi Wes!!!
As soon as I got this notification, I clicked on it so fast!! Hello from rainy Queensland Australia! Thank you for your videos! We appreciate it so much!! 🙏
We do a combo of pork rinds and almond flour ground together in a vitamix and then used with a dredge or as a batter. So good.
Hi Wes! You look goooood! So happy to see you back. Thanks for the video.
Perhaps you can share your motivation for your commitment to Keto sometime. I’m struggling with maintenance. Though I’m mostly low carb, I can’t seem to get back into strict keto and my appetite has increased. I admire your perseverance. ❤️❤️❤️
Protein powder is also popular for frying instead of coconut flour.
I tried that once and it gave my meat a weird texture.
Wes, I seriously love you! I recently discovered your channel. In August my husband and I realized we really needed to start eating very low carb due to my husbands health concerns and I've been learning all that I can about LCHF and IF since then. I've lost 15lbs and my husband has lost 30!! I very much enjoy your videos and I learn so much (and I laugh a lot too!) So thank you for making me smile & laugh while I learn things!! 🥰 you are so helpful.
Wes is back! Pork panko is the best. You can also mix it with almond/coconut flour or even add some parm, depending on what ingredients you have on hand. I usually mix them if I don't have enough panko.
Wes our dollar general has pork rinds for $ 1 .00 or $ 2.00 they are great for this recipe you shared with us thank you
Let me tell you why I keep coming back Wes. You always make me laugh. You are entertaining to watch with your funny little southern comments & expressions & trust me I love them because I'm a southern girl. Thank you for saving me from so many things that I just know I wouldn't have liked. Keep the good stuff coming!
Love it! I’ve used pork rinds fir fried pork chops. Bbq flavor make a great coating! Thanks for the video!!❤
Same! My family is from the south so I grew up on fried pork chops in the cast-iron skillet! Now that I’m keto I cook them with pork rinds and I also make a gravy with drippings from the pan and heavy whipping cream!
I've used SlimThin "Zero Carb" bread for chicken (ground down to a powder). I'm getting read to make some bread stuffing.
This was a great video! I use Pork rinds mixed with some Almond flour all the time! LOVE it!! I wanted to share with you with a fish suggestion. I don't like a real strong "fishy" tasting fish. I found one that is absolutely wonderful. It is called Swai fish. It doesn't have a real strong fishy taste at all. It has more of a buttery taste that when breaded with a little almond flour and the pork rinds is the best fish you will ever taste. Just a tip for people that are like me with the strong fishy taste. You can pick it up at Walmart. I have sure missed your videos!
Im glad you found a fish you like, but you may want to read up on Swai. It’s the bottom of the barrel when it comes to mass produced/farmed fish. Then again, lobsters and shrimp are the cockroaches of the sea, so it is what it is! 😂
Thanks for sharing this video. I love fried fish. Will try the one with pork rinds.
Yeah I was about to say, when I make fried fish I coat it I Coconut flour, egg, & then ground pork rinds. I've never tried it in Almond flour. My hubs is allergic to Almonds
OK people.... the minute you are looking for is: 4:30
You are very welcome.
I use a pork crumbs and parmesan mix, my favorite way for fried fish, pork chop, and things like that. My non-keto family thinks it just as good or better as old SAD way of making. Fried chicken is just ok with it, but I have very high standards for fried chicken, so far no method or ingredients compare my old recipe. But on good side eating ketovore, I miss it less. And making oven baked chicken skin chips is amazing.
Yummy looks so good. I like to mix almond flour, grated parmesan, and pork panko to fry everything.
To make my pork panko much finer, I use my blender. I then freeze them in a zip-top bag to help mask the flavor of the pork.😃😁
It's been awhile since I've watched your channel, mainly because I wasn't eating keto. Now I'm back on keto and still love your channel. You look great! I've used pork rinds panko to make chicken parmesan. You really can't tell!
Welcome back!
@@HighfalutinLowCarb Glad to be back, I'm making fried catfish tonight 😀
Welcome back Wes! I get pork rinds at dollar tree. They have several brands and both regular and bbq
I cannot use pork rinds and have tried the gribenes/fried chicken skins. They work well…until I discovered the maker also made pork rinds and they use the same equipment/oil/etc. Or at least they were not able to tell me they didn’t. So I’m stuck with nut flours. Although I haven’t tried lupin yet ;)
You look fantastic, Wes!! Thank you for another great video!
Hi Wes. I’m wondering, could you also add Parmesan to the breading crumbs for a richer flavor? I can’t experiment because of a dairy intolerance 😢. But let me know if you try it 😊
You might want to give grapeseed oil a try as your frying medium. It's a very high smoke point oil, adds no odor or flavor, and most importantly doesn't fill your house with that "fried Food" smell. It's a bit on the expensive side, but I filter it into mason jars once cooled and use it again for similar frying (one jar for fish only, one for "sweet", and one for everything else). I end up only needing to add an ounce or 2 for each new fry.
Grapeseed oil isn’t a very healthy oil to use, especially for exposure to heat. It’s a seed oil, high in pufas and it breaks down into toxic compounds after being exposed to too much heat, light, or air. It should definitely not be used for frying for anyone. But it’s a seed oil like canola, etc - not recommended for a keto diet.
Glad to see you back…lookin’ fabulous!
Glad you’re back. Missed you! Loved these recipes to cook fish.
Coconut flour has its uses but not in breading. It absorbs liquid so that's why the first fish was not as moist, I just figure the coconut flour is the culprit. I find just the parma/pork rind panko is the absolute crispiest best IME. And anyway I've been off nut flours for many months now.
Wes we take Catfish Filets and dredge them in eggs then coat them in parmsean cheese and cook them on a George Forman and They are Awesome that way
Wes, I had just started Keto with great success but was questioning how I could give up my fried Panko catfish. What a treat! Thanx!
I make chicken fried steak with ground pork rinds. Even my non-Keto husband loves it cooked that way.
Missed you! I fell off the keto wagon for a while,now back on it. Definitely prefer grinding my own pork rinds.
Just started this video, and I just have to say - Welcome back, Wes! you are looking amazing!
Thanks! 🙂🙂
Yup, I was surprised to see that I had been unsubscribed. Recipes look delish and I have the ground-up pork rinds. I did find Salt and Pepper! rinds. at Dollar Tree.
Welcome back, Wes! Hope we see you much more often. Didn't realize you are now in San Diego, thought you were in Florida. Guess I missed something. Thanks for all you do for us!
It Just so happened that my husband made keto fried fish, tonight, for dinner. He used whiting fish, an egg wash and pork rinds, for the coating. So delicious ! 😋
i did this with chicken, and it taste good. I'm going to do with next week. they do sell Ponko pork already grind down.
Just found you today, watching the cinnamon bun challenge from 3 years ago. You have a great accent and are so fun to watch. Subscribing!
To explore the combinations better, should have tried the Coconut Flour 'undercoat' with the Pork Rind as well. Good job doing both with the same seasoning.
I would also like to see a lupini flour breading.
Designing Women is one of my favorite series. I have seasons 1-5 on DVD.
You’re the first comment I’ve seen that’s mentioned it! 🙃
So do I! Once Delta Burke and Jean Smart left, I didn't like the show. So I only bought the first 5 seasons. Lol!
Thank you Wes! I love fish and I agree frozen fish is convenient, I usually have some frozen fish to improvise a recipe
Thank you for these recipes. I’m doing the pork rind today ❤
I've done this with pork grinds chicken tenders and it's the best!
Lemon and black pepper seasoning.
Hey! I love your channel! I think baking power would work for frying.
Are you referring to adding baking powder to the "breading": flour or pork panko? If so, I thought the same!😉
@@dianegougelet1829 I use baking powder only on chicken to fry it. I comes out crispy.
also you can make these, freeze them and then bake them later.
I’m here because I just love you and your videos, and to see the breading. I don’t care for fish/seafood of any kind 😂
Hey Wes, glad you are back. You look 👀 great and I’m glad to see you healthy!
I, like many, don’t find almond flour a satisfying breading. I’ll share my twist on using the pork panko. I use half pork panko and half finely grated Parmesan cheese, I get a satisfying crunch from this. I add my spices to the panko mixture. I dredge in egg white powder, eggs, panko mix. I dredge all of my protein, then I let it sit for about 5 minutes before frying. For some reason this seems to help the breading stay on better. I’m looking forward to your future videos 💞
Thanks so much. This is a timely video. I bought cod fish yesterday and plan on making some fried fish.
I agree on the nut flour fatigue. I just threw away probably $30 worth of almond flour that sat in my freezer for years untouched. I do no like it in anything anymore!
Nice to see you back!
So glad to see Wes back! We have a ton of fresh fish here in Pensacola 😊
I came up with about 50/50 mixture of almond flour and blended pork rinds about a year ago for my pork chops and have been using this "panko" ever since. I felt that pork rinds alone were a bit too "porky". Am going to try pork rinds after dredging in coconut flour and see what difference that makes. Love your vlog!
Great to see your videos again - you look fabulous ❤🤩
Thanks Wes! I’ve always avoided pork rind panko because of the strong flavor. Good to know it doesn’t affect the final fish dish.
Actually, I prefer to process almonds to a meal consistency rather than use almond flour for texture reasons. I also add seasoning to both the egg dredge and the coating unless I use the pork rinds which I also like. Another idea I had that worked was using corn fiber as the flour dredge before the egg instead of coconut or other flour.
I’m so happy you’re back. You look great btw. Are you working out also?
As always great video looks yummy. Your videos have helped me with my keto journey.
Very excited to see you back Wes,
Great video will add some fish to my meal plan soon and try this
Thanks for being such an inspiration
I've heard almond flour and whey protein make a good coating for fried foods
What is the Orangy coloured spice in your little bowl please?
Do you think you could use the batter for shrimp and scallops? Looking forward to trying the fish.
Flocker Chicken Skin is delicious but the fry them in soy oil.
They started also making pork rinds and did not respond to my inquiry regarding their process in cleaning/separation between batches. Since I can’t eat pork I had to stop using them. They are also very expensive :)
Mix almond flour with parmesan cheese
Great to see a new video! The second recipe/method looks amazing 🤩
Thank you Wes, so happy you are back❤️
