Fried Fish Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Breading

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

  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 fish fillet first into the egg mixture, letting the excess drip off, then dredge it in the flour-cornmeal mixture, ensuring an even coating.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  5. 5

    Fry the Fish

    Carefully place the coated fish fillets in the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Toast the Buns

    While the fish is frying, toast the sandwich buns in a separate skillet or oven until golden brown.

  7. 7

    Assemble the Sandwiches

    On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by a fried fish fillet, a slice of tomato, and a tablespoon of tartar sauce. Top with the other half of the bun.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Serve the fried fish sandwiches hot with your favorite sides.
