Ingredients
  
  • 1 lb Fish Fillets
  • 1 cup Flour
  • 1 cup Cornmeal
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 2 cups Vegetable Oil
Instructions
 
  • Mix the flour, cornmeal, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper in a shallow bowl.
  • This forms your dry coating mix that gives the fish its crispy finish.
  • In another bowl, whisk the egg and milk together.
  • This acts as the wet coating to help the dry mix stick to the fish fillets.
  • Dip each fish fillet into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully covered.
  • Then, coat the fish in the dry flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • The oil should be hot enough to sizzle when a drop of water is added!
  • Carefully place the coated fish fillets in the oil and fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side.
  • Cook until they are golden brown and cooked through.
