Rinse the fish fillets and shrimp under cold water. Pat dry with paper towels.

Prepare the Breading

In a shallow bowl, mix together flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. In another bowl, whisk together eggs and milk.

Dredge the Fish and Shrimp

Dip the fish fillets and shrimp first into the egg mixture, then coat with the flour-cornmeal mixture.

Fry the Fish and Shrimp

Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the fish fillets for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown, and shrimp for about 2-3 minutes until they turn pink. Drain on paper towels.
