Bread the Seafood

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

Fry the Seafood
Carefully add the breaded shrimp, catfish, tilapia, and codfish to the hot oil in batches. Do not overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes for shrimp and 4-5 minutes for fish fillets. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
