Julia Child taught me that for the CRISPIEST gills,one uses only the egg white,saving the yolk for a nice Bearnaise sauce or somesuch. Yolk is oil-soluble and therefore allows the fry oil to enter the food,where egg white is water soluble.and keeps the oil out. Will try your Cheesy-Poofs method asap,however!
And she was right. I dont use egg when I bread fish.
