Fried Whitefish Recipe

Fried Whitefish Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Breading

   In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well.

2. 2

   Prepare the Wet Mixture

   In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.

3. 3

   Coat the Fish

   Dip each whitefish fillet into the wet mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the flour-cornmeal mixture until fully coated. Set aside on a plate.

4. 4

   Heat the Oil

   In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.

5. 5

   Fry the Fish

   Carefully place the coated whitefish fillets in the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the pan.

6. 6

   Drain and Serve

   Once cooked, transfer the fried fish to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
