A classic fish fry
using a flour breadcrumb seasoning breading
Ingredients:
- 4 fish fillets (such as cod, haddock, or tilapia)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions:
1. In a shallow bowl, mix together the flour, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder to create the breading mixture.
2. In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs.
3. Dip each fish fillet into the beaten eggs, making sure to coat both sides.
4. Next, dredge the fish fillets in the flour breadcrumb mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
5. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
6. Carefully place the breaded fish fillets into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet.
7. Fry the fish fillets for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
8. Once cooked, remove the fish fillets from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
9. Serve the fish hot with your favorite sides, such as tartar sauce, lemon wedges, and coleslaw.
