Instructions
- Prepare Fish: Cut white fish into pieces and season both sides with salt and pepper to taste.
- Make Egg Mixture: Mix buttermilk with a large egg. If no buttermilk, substitute by mixing whole milk with a little lemon juice.
- Prepare Breading Mix: Combine wheat flour, coarse cornmeal, seafood seasoning, garlic powder, cayenne pepper (optional), baking soda, and baking powder. Stir well.
- Coat Fish with Flour: Dredge each piece of fish in wheat flour to help egg mixture adhere better.
- Dip Fish in Egg Mixture: Using a fork for ease and cleanliness, dip each floured fish piece into the egg mixture.
- Coat Fish with Breading: Thoroughly coat each fish piece with the breading mix to ensure a super crispy crust.
- Fry Fish: Heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry fish for 5 to 6 minutes total, or about 3 minutes per side in a frying pan over medium-high heat, until golden brown.
- Drain and Season: Remove fish from oil and drain on absorbent paper. Just before serving, season with a little salt to taste.
