PAT'S SOUTHERN-FRIED PANFISH
"Panfish" are non-saltwater fish like bass, bluegill, and/or crappies. If you like VERY MILD FISH which is crunchy on the outside and flakey-white and moist on the inside, then this recipe is for you. It's not at all greasy, as long as you don't go short on the Crisco and as long as you get your Crisco hot enough. And the idea of dusting the fillets with flour prior to the "drench" and "dredge" prevents the coating from falling off while frying. I primarily use this particular recipe for largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, and, Kentucky spotted bass; however, it's also perfect for nice-sized white bass or, even for bluegill (bream) or crappie fillets if you shorten the cooking time to account for the smaller fillets. The time listed does not account for marinating time.

Steps:
- Allow the fillets to marinade in salt water (use all the quart of water except for 4 tablespoons), using the table salt, for 3 hours in the refrigerator.
- After marination, pat the fillets very dry with paper towels. Pour one cup of the flour into a small paper bag and drop in the fillets, one at a time, and coat them lightly, shaking off any excess flour. Reserve this flour for later use. Lay the fillets out on a piece of wax paper and allow them to sit for 20 minutes.
- In a large skillet, heat the shortening until a few small drops of water crackle loudy in it.
- Using a fork or whisk, beat the eggs and the 4 tablespoons of water together in a medium-sized bowl for at least 20 seconds and set aside. This will be your "drench".
- Mix together the flour from the bag, all remaining flour (1 cup), the kosher salt, the corn meal and the white pepper on a platter. This will be your "dredge".
- Prepare one fillet at a time for frying by first dipping it in the egg "drench". Allow most of this to drip off and then dredge it in the flour mix on both sides. Shake very lightly to remove any notable hunks of flour and corn meal.
- Carefully lay each fillet into the very hot shortening. If it does not begin to fry immediately, your shortening is not hot enough! Do not crowd the fillets in the skillet -- do as many batches as necessary to accommodate this.
- Allow each fillet to fry until lightly browned on the first side and then carefully turn it to the other side. When each fillet is lightly browned on both sides (about 7-10 minutes total), the fish is done. It should be very white and flakey in the thickest part of the fillet.
- Serve with ketchup and/or tartar sauce as an entree, or, on sandwiches.

Tips:
- Choose the right panfish: Smaller panfish, such as bluegill, crappie, and perch, are best for deep frying. They cook quickly and have a delicate flavor.
- Clean the panfish thoroughly: Remove the scales, guts, and fins. Rinse the fish inside and out with cold water.
- Season the panfish: Season the fish with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. You can also add a light coating of flour.
- Heat the oil to the correct temperature: The ideal temperature for deep frying panfish is between 350°F and 375°F. Use a deep fryer or a large saucepan filled with oil.
- Fry the panfish in small batches: Do not overcrowd the pan, or the fish will not cook evenly. Fry the fish in small batches for about 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Drain the panfish on paper towels: When the fish is cooked, remove it from the oil and drain it on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Conclusion:
Deep-fried panfish is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With the right ingredients and a little bit of practice, you can create a delicious meal that will impress your friends and family.
