Fried Whiting Fish Recipe

Fried Whiting Fish Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Breading

   In a shallow dish, combine the flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.

2. 2

   Prepare the Egg Mixture

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

3. 3

   Coat the Fish

   Dip each whiting fillet first into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge in the flour-cornmeal mixture until fully coated. Set aside.

4. 4

   Heat the Oil

   In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

5. 5

   Fry the Fish

   Carefully place the coated whiting fillets into the hot oil, cooking in batches if necessary. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

6. 6

   Drain and Serve

   Remove the fried fish from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with lemon wedges.
