Bread the Fish
Remove the fish from the marinade and let excess liquid drip off. Dip each fillet first in the beaten eggs, then coat in the breading mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.

Fry the Fish
Carefully place the breaded fillets into the hot oil, cooking in batches if necessary. Fry for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spatula to remove the fish and drain on paper towels.
