Method

Fried Fish

  1. 1

    Prepare the Coating

    In a shallow bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Egg Mixture

    In another bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until well combined.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Coat the Fish

    Dip each fish fillet into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the cornmeal mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

  5. 5

    Fry the Fish

    Carefully place the coated fish in the hot oil and fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Corn Fritters

  1. 6

    Mix the Batter

    In a bowl, combine corn, flour, baking powder, salt, egg, milk, and green onions. Stir until just combined.

  2. 7

    Heat the Oil

    In a separate skillet, heat oil over medium heat.

  3. 8

    Fry the Fritters

    Using a tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden. Remove and place on a paper towel to drain.

Fixins

  1. 9

    Prepare Fixins

    Plate the fried fish and corn fritters, serve with lemon wedges, tartar sauce, and hot sauce on the side.
