Fish and Breading

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prep the Fish

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

  2. 2

    Set Up the Breading Station

    In three separate shallow dishes, place the flour mixed with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in one; whisk together the eggs and milk in the second; and place the breadcrumbs in the third.

  3. 3

    Bread the Fish

    Dip each fish fillet first into the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and finally into the breadcrumbs, making sure each piece is well coated.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  5. 5

    Fry the Fish

    Carefully add the breaded fish fillets to the hot oil, cooking in batches if necessary. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the cooked fish from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
