Fried Fish

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fish

    In a large bowl, mix the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.

  2. 2

    Coat the Fish

    Dip each fish fillet into the egg mixture, then coat it in the flour-cornmeal mixture, ensuring it's well covered.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Fry the Fish

    Carefully place the coated fish fillets in the hot oil, cooking in batches if necessary. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Drain the Fish

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

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the fried fish hot with your choice of two sides, such as coleslaw, fries, or mashed potatoes.
