Crispy Florida Black Grouper

Method

Crispy Florida Black Grouper

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grouper

    Rinse the grouper fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Create the Batter

    In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and water. Gradually add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until smooth.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Fry the Grouper

    Dip each fillet into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off. Carefully place the fillets in the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the crispy grouper hot with the prepared Thai dipping sauce.
