Has anyone tried taking Panko breadcrumbs into the field before? That's all we use at home to fry up walleye fillets. Dip the fillets in flour, then egg, and then seasoned Panko bread crumbs. I like the powdered milk idea and might try that out with Panko crumbs in May.
Cheers, TT

This is a fine way to use some of that powdered egg crap, too. On the very rare occasions I've messed with breading at all, I mix up some egg powder with water to dip the fish in before breading them. It does help the breading stick much better. Mostly I just bronze my fish (like blackening without the high heat), or else bake 'em (trout).

Well OS and Arkansasman that sounds mouth watering . I occasionally make walleye or trout this way or add more seasoning to make blackened trout.
Bloodnguts, what we do to get the breading to stick better if I want a thicker breading is mix the breading with water (beer would be better--sometimes I'll bring a bottle of beer in a plastic container), rinse fillet in water, lightly coat fillet (shake in a bag) with flour or breading, then dip fillet in breading/water or beer mix. Make breading/water mix thin for lightly breaded or thicker depending on taste. You have to bring in a little extra breading or flour and of course the beer if you want beer battered.
