NOT MY MOM'S FRIED FISH
This is someone's Mom's fried fish recipe but it's not MY Mom. I found it in Taste of Home, June/July 2005 issue and made it tonight for dinner. It's very, very good and SO easy. The recipe called for the fish to be deep fried but I fried it in about 3/4 inch of oil in a large, heavy skillet. Also, the original recipe called for whitefish fillets, cut in half lengthwise....I used some thin Chilean sea bass fillets and it was excellent. I think any firm, white fish fillets will work. This recipe was printed in Taste of Home magazine and attributed to Julie in Wisconsin. Julie, if you ever become a member of Zaar, contact me and I'll ask Kathy to transfer this recipe over to you and thanks for the great dinner!

Steps:
- Place beaten eggs and saltine cracker crumbs in separate shallow bowls or pie tins.
- Dip fillets into eggs, then coat with crumbs; let stand for 5 minutes.
- In a heavy, deep skillet, or electric frying pan, heat oil (about 3/4 to 1 inch of oil) to 375°. Fry fillets, a few at a time, for 2 minutes on each side or until fish is golden brown and flakes easily (I found that when the fish is golden brown it's DONE).

Tips:
- Choose the right fish: A good choice for frying is a firm-fleshed fish such as cod, haddock, pollock, catfish, or tilapia.
- Use fresh or frozen fish: If using frozen fish, thaw it completely before frying.
- Pat the fish dry: This will help the coating adhere to the fish and prevent it from becoming soggy.
- Season the fish: Sprinkle the fish with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings before coating it.
- Use a light coating: The coating should be just enough to cover the fish, not thick and heavy.
- Use a high-quality oil: canola oil, peanut oil, or vegetable oil are all good choices.
- Heat the oil to the right temperature: The oil should be hot enough to sizzle when the fish is added, but not so hot that it smokes.
- Fry the fish in batches: Do not overcrowd the pan, or the fish will not cook evenly.
- Cook the fish until it is golden brown and flakes easily with a fork: This will ensure that the fish is cooked through.
- Drain the fish on paper towels: This will help remove any excess oil.
Conclusion:
Frying fish can be a delicious and easy way to cook it. By following these tips, you can ensure that your fried fish comes out perfect every time. Serve your fried fish with your favorite sides, such as french fries, coleslaw, or tartar sauce. Enjoy!
