Notes
To make just the breading, in case you want to have some on hand the next time a fresh catch lands on your doorstep, combine flour and next 9 ingredients. Store tightly covered in the pantry or the freezer. (I prefer the freezer.) Making the breading in advance is sort of like buying a box of Shore Lunch®... only better.
