4 pieces of firm white fish (eg cod, tilapia, or catfish)
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon Keyne Black Pepper
1 teaspoon dried parsley or thyme
1/2 cup buttermilk (or regular milk)
For coating:
1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
1/4 cup cornmill (for additional crispness)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
For frying:
Vegetable oil (sufficient to fry shallow)
Alternative Garnish:
Fresh parsley, chopped
lemon wedges
Instructions
Prepare the Fish:
Add lemon juice, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, pepper and parsley leaf. Marinate the fish with this mixture, then add buttermilk. Let it sit for 15-30 minutes.
Prepare Coating:
Add flour, cornmils, salt, paprika, pepper and baking powder to the shallow bowl.
Fry the Fish:
Heat oil on medium-high heat. Test except a small amount of coating - it should be seized immediately.
Fry the fish for 3-4 minutes until the golden brown and crisp. Excess oil drain on paper towel.
If desired, serve hot with garnish and needle sauce.
Tips
Fish choice: Firm white fish works best. Avoid flaky fish for better frying.
Additional crisp: Double-dabble-dabble to the fish plaque in the coating mixture.
Make ahead: Marinate the fish overnight for deep taste.
