Steps:
- Put the fillets on a flat surface. There may be a small bone line running partly down the center of each fillet. If so, cut on both sides and discard it.
- Beat the egg, salt, pepper, water and one tablespoon of oil in a flat dish.
- Put the flour in a flat dish and toss the fillets in it. Shake off excess.
- Put bread crumbs in a flat dish.
- Dip the floured fillets, one at a time, in the egg mixture to coat well. Dip them on both sides in the bread crumbs and pat lightly to make the crumbs adhere.
- Heat the remaining one-third cup of oil in a heavy skillet and add enough breaded fillets to make one layer without crowding. Cook until golden brown on one side, about one and one-half to two minutes. Turn and cook about one and one-half minutes on the second side. The cooking times will depend on the thickness of the fish. It may be necessary to add more oil if it disappears. As the fillets are cooked transfer them to a warm serving platter. Continue cooking until all the fillets are done.
- Pour off the oil from the skillet and wipe it out with paper towels.
- Put the butter in the skillet and swirl it around over high heat until it starts to foam. Continue cooking until it starts to become hazelnut brown. Pour this over the fish. Sprinkle the fish with the lemon juice and serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right fish: Firm-fleshed fish like cod, haddock, or tilapia work best for breading.
- Make sure the fish is dry: Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels before breading to help the breading stick.
- Use a light touch when breading the fish: Don't over-handle the fillets, as this can break them up.
- Use a good breading mixture: A simple mixture of flour, cornmeal, breadcrumbs, and seasonings works well. You can also use a commercial breading mix.
- Coat the fish evenly in the breading mixture: Make sure the fish is completely coated in the breading mixture before frying.
- Fry the fish in hot oil: The oil should be hot enough to sizzle when the fish is added. This will help the fish cook evenly and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Fry the fish in batches so that the pieces don't stick together.
- Cook the fish until it is golden brown and flaky: The fish should be cooked through, but not overcooked. Flaky fish is cooked through when it can be easily flaked with a fork.
- Serve the fish hot with your favorite dipping sauce: Breaded fish is delicious served with tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, or remoulade.
