2 cups white cornmeal
2 cups all-purpose flour

3
Combine mustard, Tabasco sauce, Worcestershire sauce, cream, water, and wine in a large mixing bowl until well blended.

Mix well together until well blended; coat the fish pieces in the mustard mixture, then roll the fish in the dry cornmeal/flour mixture.

Fry the fish in a deep fat fryer at 375u00b0F; the fish should float to the top of the grease and turn a golden brown.
8
Remove from the fryer and drain on a stack of dry paper towels.

This makes awesome Po' Boy's or just plain old fish sandwiches.
