Steps:

- Heat the oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees.
- Season the flour with salt and pepper. Put the whiting in the flour, and stir so that each piece is liberally coated. Shake off excess flour. Drop a third of the whiting into the oil, and cook about 5 minutes, until the fish is crisp. Drain on paper towels.

Steps:
- Mix the cornmeal, flour, salt, paprika, and pepper together in a shallow dish or plastic container. Pour the milk into another dish. Dip the fillets into the milk, then into the cornmeal mixture, coating them well and shaking off any excess.
- Heat 1/2 the butter in a large skillet over high heat, and fry 2 of the fillets for about 3 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Transfer the fillets to a serving platter and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining butter and fillets. Serve immediately, with tartar sauce and lemon wedges.
PAN FRIED WHITING FISH
You can use other flat fish such as flounder or sole. I have found whiting to have little to no small while cooking. Best served with my recipe # 516674 Sweet Dilly Tartar sauce. We also enjoy serving this fish with Alexia Smart Classic Roasted Straight Cut Fries. The prep time includes the time the fish needs to sit in the refrigerator after breading

Steps:
- In shallow dish mix panko bread crumbs and seasonings together. In other shallow dish whisk eggs and Crystal hot sauce. Dip fish in eggs turning fish over and over 3 times. Then dip fish in panko bread crumbs turning twice and patting the bread crumbs into each fillet. Sit on a plate. Once all fish are breaded cover with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator for 15 minutes.
- Heat oil/butter over high heat until bubbling (approx 1 1/2 - 2 minutes). Add half the fillets and turn to medium high heat. Cook fish 3 1/2 - 4 minutes per side making sure it turns a nice golden brown color.
- Remove from pan and place on paper towel covered plate to drain. Serve with condiment of your choice. We prefer my Sweet Dilly Tartar Sauce recipe # 516674.

Tips:
- When choosing whiting, opt for medium-sized fish, as they tend to have fewer bones and a more delicate flavor. - Before frying, pat the whiting dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps the fish crisp up and prevents splattering. - For a crispy coating, double-coat the fish in flour, egg, and breadcrumbs. You can also use panko breadcrumbs for an even crispier texture. - To prevent the fish from sticking to the pan, make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the whiting. The ideal temperature for frying is between 350°F (175°C) and 375°F (190°C). - Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the fish. This will cause the oil temperature to drop, resulting in soggy fish. - Fry the whiting in small batches for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. - Drain the fried whiting on paper towels to remove excess oil before serving.Conclusion:
Deep-fried whiting is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or even as part of a fish and chips meal. With its crispy coating and tender, flaky flesh, it's sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy seafood recipe, give deep-fried whiting a try!
