Stuffed Fried Fish Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crab Filling

    In a bowl, mix together crab meat, cream cheese, green onions, garlic powder, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 2

    Stuff the Fish

    Take each fish fillet and place a generous spoonful of the crab mixture in the center. Fold the fillet over to encase the filling and secure the edges with toothpicks if necessary.

  3. 3

    Prepare for Frying

    Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with the beaten egg, and one with bread crumbs.

  4. 4

    Bread the Fish

    Dredge each stuffed fillet in flour, then dip in the beaten egg, and finally coat evenly with bread crumbs.

  5. 5

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until hot.

  6. 6

    Fry the Fish

    Carefully place the breaded fish fillets in the hot oil and fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

  7. 7

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fried fish from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with lemon wedges or your choice of dipping sauce.
