Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Breading

    In a shallow bowl, mix together flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Egg Mixture

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

  3. 3

    Coat the Fish

    Dip each fillet first into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then coat it in the flour-cornmeal mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot (about 350°F or 180°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Fish

    Carefully place the coated fillets into the hot oil, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fried fish and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with lemon wedges.
