Fish and Breading

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fish

    Rinse the haddock, cod, and perch fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Make the Breading

    In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Wet Mixture

    In another bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the milk until well combined.

  4. 4

    Bread the Fish

    Dip each fish fillet into the wet mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then coat it in the breading mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

  5. 5

    Heat the Oil

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

  6. 6

    Fry the Fish

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

  7. 7

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fried fish from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your choice of sides and tartar sauce.
