Trust.
I think most milanesa is made with an egg batter/bread crumb dredge as are most Euro style schnitzels. In Texas what we call here CFS or chicken fried steak, is a Texas favorite and heavily influenced by German and Czech immigrants.
Almost always a milk/flour dredge although sometimes egg & milk/flour dredge. Gravy is usually milk, butter, flour, salt and pepper.
In Texas CFS is ever where but can be tough to find a really good one. Every one I've had using egg, the coating fell off.
Where most joints fail though is not the breading but the gravy. Either too thin or thick like glue or not enough pepper or just lacking salt. I don't understand how something so simple could get messed up like that.
Texas has heaps of great food joints but also more than heaps of crappy ones too.
As for my fish CFS, I just had to do it.
And I LOVE IT!
Good by itself but also DEFCON 2 made it KILLER!
That looks dern good.
What's the spice on the crab?
Those look like snow crab or is it surimi?
Looks like you got the rolls nice and tight.
DId you use a bamboo mat to roll them?

You did good rollin' 'em!!
If you want the real deal mayo, buy Kewpie mayo. It's what they use, and has rice wine vinegar and MSG. It's not as eggy, or thick.

Looks good TB!
Wonder how that would have tasted with some bleu cheese dressing mixed with shredded carrots and cabbage (like a slaw, but also to mimic the bleu cheese, carrots, and celery).
I love how you turned the tortillas into crackers but said you don't like limp tortillas... lol. Nice save.

I do something similar for buffalo chicken sandwiches. Basically chicken breasts done in the slow cooker with wing sauce and shredded, then put on a bun and topped with bleu cheese slaw. It's like a buffalo chicken version of a pulled pork sandwich. Super easy and tasty.
Salmon & steelhead can pair well with cheese just fine but blue cheese I reckon is a stretch.
BC over powers it and I think all you would taste would be the wing sauce and BC.
That was a good save but I do indeed prefer them that way although I rarely get them perfect.
Think of it as cracker style crust for pizza which is the only style I make any more.

I never see Kwepie mayo to sell here!! i never eat it!
this in my fist experience, so i dont buy expensive itens...
More hippy food.
CFS Part Duh!
Jalapeno Ranch and flour dredge.
Normally with CFS it would go flour/milk/flour for the breading but with a thicker wet wash like the ranch and then flour it comes out pretty gall dern guud!
If fried in good oil and at the right temp, it comes out nice and crispy and the breading WILL NOT FALL OFF!
Old school style CFS although I do love my recessed comal for frying.
Grab that bottle of DEFCON 2 and pour it on heavy.
C'mon now get it on there and don't be beetch!
Made up a little kale salad with the last of the 'peno ranch to go with the fish and splooged on just a little lime crema.
I've decided I like kale like this. Reminds me of thick romaine leaves but tastes sorta like broccoli.
And the CFS? It's like dadgum crack I tell ya' but I need to whoa up on the frying for a while. Had my quota for the month.
There is one downside.
I'm outta' DEFCON 2 now.
I'll have to drive an hour each way to Plano to stock up.
Or maybe just order online and save the gas, which is probably smarter since the joint I have to hit up for the stuff is Central Market. CM is the kind of joint you roll up into to fetch a 4 dollah item and walk out with $300 worth of sheeit in the cart. It's all cool and the gang though. They got hot Texas hippy womern's workin' there. BONUS!

Reason I mentioned is that's more Buffalo style than CFS style. Battered, deep fried, coated in wing sauce. A light blue cheese slaw could be bangin'. Light on the bleu. Instead of ranch. But I know how you Texans like your ranch. Probably with wings too.
Oh, i didn't know kale means cavolo.
Btw, no fish but health food:
Just tomatoes, parsley, salt, mozz, evo oil and hot powder...
That's my dinner with a piece of bread... The burger from lunch while not a challenge to eat left me with not much hunger...
Not bad to tell the truth since tomatoes were good.

Apparently doesn't have to be healthy anymore. Or deep fry it and tell us it's healthy because of the oil temp.
Looks tasty.
, btw never tried fried tomato. That could be new frontier!

Bastige!
Of course there's a healthy way to fry.
Its not like I'm fryin' bacon or turkey's here.
I was going to fry some pickles just for YOU but nooooooooo!
Now go and drink a kombucha & vodka rocks.
Too many late night infomercials!
But I guess if this guy says it's a healthy deep fryer, okay...
