Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grouper

    Cut the grouper fillets into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In one bowl, place the flour. In a second bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. In a third bowl, combine cornmeal, salt, black pepper, and paprika.

  3. 3

    Bread the Grouper

    Dip each piece of grouper in the flour, then the egg mixture, and finally coat with the cornmeal mixture.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.

  5. 5

    Fry the Grouper Bites

    Carefully add the breaded grouper pieces to the hot oil and fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the grouper bites from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with house fries or COASTAL slaw.
