- Combine mustard, tabasco sauce, worcestershire sauce, cream, water and wine in a large mixing bowl until well blended.
- Put the white cornmeal in a food processor and blend at high speed for 3 minutes. It will make the mixture much finer.
- Pour the cornmeal into another large, dry mixing bowl and add the flour and remaining dry ingredients.
- Mix well together with a flexible wire whisk until well blended.
- Coat the fish pieces in the mustard mixture, then roll the fish in the dry cornmeal mixture.

- Remove from the fryer and drain on a stack of dry paper towels.
- Serve with french fries and coleslaw.
