What do you use to dredge yours in?
Flour, buttermilk, cornmeal, in that order. I would add cayenne or other spices but then I would be the only one eating them. So I make a spicy remoulade to go with.

2 quality tips-
1. slice, salt both sides first and allow to sit for 15 to 20min on a wire rack (draws off more water and they freeze and fry better) pat dry, add pepper and proceed to dredge.
2. If you vac pack, single layer only or wax paper between.
I have made the mistake of doing a double layer, and even though they were pre frozen before I vac packed, you could not get them apart with a chisel!

The Old Bay sounds interesting by the way. Might have to try that...
