Seasoning Mix:1 Tbsp. garlic powder2 tsp. salt2 tsp. black pepper1 tsp. ground red pepper Place fish pieces in a large bowl. Combine the seasoning mix ingredients in a small bowl. In separate bowl, combine 1 tablespoon seasoning mix with vinegar and mustard. Mix well. Reserve remaining seasoning mix.

Beat in the milk and 1 tablespoon seasoning mix. In a large plastic bag, combine the flour and the remaining 1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon seasoning mix, mixing well.
