Method

Preparation of Mahi Mahi

  1. 1

    Prepare the Breading

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Mix well to create a dry breading mixture.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Wet Batter

    In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. This will be the wet batter for the fish.

  3. 3

    Coat the Fish

    Dip each Mahi Mahi fillet into the wet batter, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, coat the fillet in the dry breading mixture, pressing gently to ensure it adheres well.

Frying the Mahi Mahi

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 375°F (190°C). You can test the temperature by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle immediately.

  2. 5

    Fry the Fish

    Carefully place the coated Mahi Mahi fillets into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fillets and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Serving the Dish

  1. 6

    Plate the Fish

    Serve the fried Mahi Mahi fillets on a plate with lemon wedges, fresh parsley, and a side of tartar sauce for dipping.
