For a richer flavor, try using a flavored olive oil instead of peanut oil. If you don't have Cajun seasoning, a blend of paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper works well. Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the fish to ensure a crispy crust. Use a thermometer to check! Feel free to experiment with different flavors of potato chips, like BBQ or sour cream and onion.
