Buttermilk Fried Fillets
I don't believe I have ever used biscuit mix for breading. Pretty sure not. This really came out nice and crispy. Not sure if it was the biscuit mix or the combination of it with the buttermilk or not, but it was crispier than flour. I usually make a recipe as written except I wanted to have a nice dinner tonight (back to work tomorrow!) and knew that salt wouldn't be enough seasoning for me. Guess I put my taste buds before IMI tonight. Sorry, gang. It won't happen again. :-P
hehe
I made one other buttermilk based recipe today. I will report back tomorrow after the gang at work (hopefully) inhales it.

Nice picture and beautifully browned. Very nice. Looks better than the fish from our English Pub. Their fish should look so crispy and light.

I bookmarked this. Looks sublime. I have a box of Bisquik in the pantry from another recipe a while ago. Will use Tina's sub for buttermilk. Your potatoes look like a perfect side as well.

It looks just beautiful, Frankie! I am not absolutely positive but, I think there is in lard biscuit mix? Maybe that makes it crispier than just a normal flour mixture?

Thank you, ladies! I used Bisquick but I don't think it has lard in it. It does have leavening stuff in it. Maybe that is what worked. I'm not certain, but it was crispy!

There is shortening or lard in it along with many other things, including leavening agents.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisquick
Substitution for it is:
One cup of Bisquick can be substituted by a mixture of one cup of flour, 1½ teaspoons of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of salt, and 2 1/2 tablespoons of oil or melted butter (or, better, by cutting in 2 1/2 tbsp Crisco or lard).
