Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams White fish fillets (cod or haddock)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 cup Cornmeal
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and cut them into bite-sized pieces.
In a medium bowl, combine the fish pieces, lemon juice, salt, and ground black pepper. Toss the fish to coat well. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
While the fish is marinating, prepare the coating ingredients. In one shallow dish, mix the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, and paprika.
In a second shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and water until well combined.
In a third shallow dish, mix the cornmeal and breadcrumbs.
Dredge each piece of marinated fish in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Dip the floured fish pieces in the egg mixture, making sure they are fully coated.
Finally, coat each piece with the cornmeal-breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be about 1 inch deep.
Once the oil is hot (around 350°F or 175°C), carefully add the fish pieces in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Fry each batch for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the cooked fish pieces and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining fish pieces.
Serve the crispy fried fish pieces hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy!
