Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb your favorite fresh fish filets (you can use flounder, white fish, perch or whatever you like. i used virginia mullet in the picture).
1/2 to 3/4 c buttermilk
1/2 c *self rising flour
1/2 c *self rising white cornmeal (not mix)
1/4 tsp old bay seasoning
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
oil for frying
*self rising flour and cornmeal seems to give a lighter coating and adheres well.

Steps:

  • 1. Pour buttermilk in shallow bowl. Add fish filets, turning to coat. Refrigerate for about one hour.
  • 2. Mix together flour, cornmeal and seasonings. Remove fish from refrigerator. Shake off excess buttermilk. Roll fish in seasoned corn meal mixture.
  • 3. Heat oil in deep fryer to about 375 degrees. Drop fish pieces in hot oil and deep fry for about 4 to 5 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with additional salt/pepper, if desired and serve hot with hushpuppies, slaw and your favorite potato.

I'm allergic to fish. Can I use chicken or shrimp instead?

I would love to try this recipe, but I don't have a deep fryer. Can I use a regular frying pan?

This recipe was a disaster. The fish was overcooked and the breading was soggy.

The fish was a little bland, but the breading was good.

This was my first time frying fish and it turned out amazing! The fish was cooked evenly and the breading was crispy.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The fish is always crispy and flaky, and the breading is flavorful. I highly recommend this recipe.

This recipe was easy to follow and the fish turned out great. I used cod fillets and they were cooked through in about 10 minutes.

The breading on this fish was so flavorful and the fish itself was cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.

This fried fish recipe is a keeper! The fish was crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside. I served it with tartar sauce and coleslaw, and it was a hit with my family.
