This mix is superior to the box varieties and you can make it for pennies on the dollar.

Add the ingredients for the fry mix to a shallow baking dish and mix well.
Soak the fish fillets in the buttermilk for about 2 minutes, then remove, and let the excess drain off.
Dredge the fillets in the cornmeal mixture, knocking off the excess.
Fill a saucepan or deep fryer, 1/3 full with oil, and heat to 360 degrees.
Fry the fillets in the hot oil in batches for 3-5 minutes depending on thickness.
Serve hot.
