Method
Fish Planks Preparation
Prepare the Fish
Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Cut each fillet into strips about 1 inch wide.
Set Up Breading Station
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, and paprika. In another shallow dish, whisk together the egg and milk. In a third shallow dish, pour the cornmeal.
Frying the Fish
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a small pinch of cornmeal into the oil; if it sizzles, it’s hot enough.
Fry the Fish Planks
Carefully add the coated fish strips to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fish and place it on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve
Serve the fish planks hot with tartar sauce on the side for dipping.
Tartar Sauce Preparation
Mix the Ingredients
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, dill pickles, lemon juice, fresh dill, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
Chill
Cover the tartar sauce and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
