CRISPY FRIED RED FISH AND SPICY REMOULADE
Warmer weather is the cue for al fresco dining, but no patio brunch or park-side picnic compares with the highly anticipated, delicious and spirited barbeques amongst the Black community. Juneteenth, or Freedom Day, marks the emancipation of slaves in the United States in 1865, and today it is a time of celebration by families and communities often in the form of a fish fry or barbeque. The color red is significant in the celebration of Juneteenth as it symbolizes the suffering, perseverance and resilience of generations of African Americans. This recipe honors this tradition and history by utilizing a meaty and flakey red fish that pairs beautifully with a spicy remoulade.

Steps:
- For the spicy remoulade: Add the mayonnaise, mustard, paprika, parsley, chives, garlic, cayenne, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, sweet pickle juice, hot sauce and black pepper to taste to a medium mixing bowl. Whisk gently until the ingredients are evenly combined. Put the sauce into an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
- For the crispy red fish: Add the salt, paprika, cayenne, white pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, thyme, oregano and flour to a medium mixing bowl and mix together. Add the egg and milk to a separate medium mixing bowl and whisk together.
- Dredge the fish in the seasoned flour, then the egg mixture, then again in the flour, shaking off any excess. Let the floured fish rest for 10 minutes.
- Heat the oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat until the oil reaches 350 degrees F.
- Pan-fry the fish in the skillet for 4 to 5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the oil and season with salt. Drain excess oil from the fillets over a lined roasting rack or paper towels. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Fill a Dutch oven halfway with oil and heat to 375 degrees F.
- Whisk the flour, cornmeal, seafood seasoning and sprinkle with salt and pepper in a small bowl and set aside. In another small bowl, whisk the buttermilk, Sriracha and egg and set aside.
- Place the shrimp into the buttermilk mixture, let the excess drip off, then dredge in the flour mixture and shake off any excess. Place the shrimp onto a wire-racked baking sheet. Repeat until all shrimp are breaded.
- Fry the shrimp in batches, not overcrowding the oil, until golden brown and cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes. Place the shrimp onto a paper-towel-lined-plate. Repeat until all the shrimp are fried. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Spread both sides of the rolls heavily with the Horseradish Remoulade. Place the shrimp on top and then the tomatoes, lettuce and some onions. Eat away!
- Add the mayonnaise, capers, Sriracha, horseradish, lemon juice, relish, vinegar, mustard, shallots and sprinkle with salt and pepper in a food processor. Blend until slightly chunky. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Steps:
- Combine the mayonnaise, yogurt, horseradish, scallions, dill pickles, sweet pickles, egg, parsley, capers, mustard, lemon juice, salt and black pepper, and cayenne in a blender or food processor and pulse to blend to a chunky sauce. Serve immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container until ready to serve, or for up to 4 days.
Tips:
- Choose the right fish. Whitefish is a mild-flavored fish that works well with the horseradish crust. Other good choices include tilapia, cod, or haddock.
- Make sure the fish is fresh. Fresh fish will have a firm texture and a mild, briny smell. Avoid fish that is slimy or has a strong odor.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the fish. A sharp knife will help you get clean, even cuts. If you don't have a sharp knife, you can ask the fishmonger to cut the fish for you.
- Don't overcook the fish. Whitefish is a delicate fish that can easily be overcooked. Cook it just until it is opaque in the center.
- Serve the fish immediately. Horseradish-crusted whitefish is best served hot out of the oven. You can garnish it with fresh herbs or lemon wedges.
Conclusion:
Horseradish-crusted whitefish is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The crispy crust and creamy remoulade sauce complement the mild flavor of the fish perfectly. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
