Grouper Fingers

Mustard Sauce

Method

Preparing the Grouper Fingers

  1. 1

    Cut and Prepare the Fish

    Cut the grouper fillets into finger-sized strips, about 1 inch wide.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, place the flour, whisked eggs mixed with milk, and a mixture of cornmeal, salt, and pepper.

  3. 3

    Coat the Fish

    Dredge each grouper strip first in flour, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat with the cornmeal mixture.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot. Test the oil by dropping in a small piece of bread; it should sizzle.

  5. 5

    Fry the Grouper Fingers

    Carefully place the coated grouper fingers in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Making the Mustard Sauce

  1. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    In a bowl, mix together the Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, lemon juice, honey, and garlic powder until smooth.

  2. 7

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add more honey for sweetness or more lemon juice for tang.

  3. 8

    Serve

    Serve the grouper fingers hot with a side of mustard sauce for dipping.
