Cajun Fish Bites Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fish

    Cut the fish fillets into bite-sized pieces and season them with Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Let them marinate for about 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Set Up the Breading Station

    In one bowl, place the flour. In a second bowl, beat the eggs and mix them with the milk. In a third bowl, combine the cornmeal with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Bread the Fish

    Dip each piece of fish first in the flour, then in the egg mixture, and finally in the cornmeal, making sure to coat each piece thoroughly.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.

  5. 5

    Fry the Fish Bites

    Carefully add the breaded fish pieces to the hot oil, frying them in batches for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fish bites from the oil and drain them on paper towels. Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.
