Smith Camps Critter Coating is a shore lunch favourite. It is corn flour based fish batter that we at Smith Camps created and it has been used at the camp since opening in the early 1970s. Many shore lunch fry coating recipes have been used in the past, however, Critter Coating has become the most popular, not just because of the tasty flavour, but also because it is gluten free. Used exclusively in the Old Pilot's Pub, on shore lunch during guided fishing trips, and for sale through various local retailers, our coating gets rave reviews by all who try it! As a corn flour based product, anyone with Celiac Disease or a gluten intolerance is able to enjoy a fish fry once again!
By using only corn flour and spices, it's a very fine breading. It allows for a light coating that does not absorb grease like heavier breading or batters do. If you like a heavier coating, you can bread the fish or meat in Critter Coating, dip in an egg wash, then bread again with Critter Coating. This double-breading method is especially delicious for fried chicken! Since the flour mixture is so fine, a little goes a long way!
Not a fish eater? Use Critter Coating on chicken, venison, moose burgers, pounded backstrap, pork tenderloin cutlets or even mix a few tablespoons with chicken broth for a quick gravy.
Purchase a 24 oz. shaker bottles in our gift shop, or at the following local retailers: Sunset Baits, Lake of the Woods Sports Headquarters (Kenora and Winnipeg) and Reddens Store. If you want a smaller amount to try it out, we are planning to offer 10 oz bottles as well. Also available at wholesale pricing by the case (12 - 24 oz bottles). Not in town? Give us a call and we can arrange shipping. If you would like to carry this product in your shop, please call and speak with Alan or Joanie and we will be happy to supply you!
Also available, is fresh Lake of the Woods smoked whitefish (pictured above, far right). Done on site, this is a local favourite available year round (dependent on availability). Try some at the camp or purchase for your own party or event. Many local caterers order as an appetizer when catering events in Kenora or on the lake!
