Fresh Fried Fish

This simple recipe is the reason my kids love fish.

• Fish fillets–I use a flaky white fish.  Use pieces of even thickness for easiest cooking.
• Flour
• Bread crumbs
• Corn flour crumbs
• Milk or Egg or Beer for dredging
• Canola oil for frying

1. Cut the fish fillets into equally sized pieces (more or less)
2. Coat both sides of each fillet in flour.
3. Dip floured fish into liquid.  I usually use milk since it’s the easiest, but you could also use a beaten egg or beer, white wine, etc.
4. Coat wet fillet with mixture of corn flake crumbs and bread crumbs.  The corn flake crumbs are sweet, so use more for sweeter fish or less, per taste.
5. In a frying pan over medium/high heat, heat a few tablespoons of oil
6. When hot, put fillets in and cook for about 5 minutes per side, depending on thickness.
7. When you can easily cut fish in half (it should separate in soft white flakes) with the side of a spatula, it is done.  If a fork or spatula won’t go through the fillet, it is not cooked yet.

Serve and enjoy. The kids love it plain, but I like to spoon salsa over the top for the grown-ups.
