Whether you are pan-frying, oven cooking, or steaming your fish, it’s all good but my favourite recipe is definitely deep-fried fish breaded in cornflake crumbs.
Ingredients
2 – 3 lbs of boneless fish fillets
2 cups of sifted flour
½ tsp of seasoned salt
½ tsp of onion powder
1 tsp of lemon pepper with garlic and onion
2 large eggs
¾ cup of milk
1 ½ – 2 cups of cornflake crumbs (store-bought or make yourself)
2 – 3 Litre of canola or vegetable oil
Directions
Mix flour and seasoning and place in a shaker bag or breading bowl. Whisk milk and eggs together and place in a dipping bowl. Place cornflake crumbs in a separate breading bowl.
Rinse fish fillets in cold water and shake off excess water.
Place fillets one at a time in a shaker bag or breading bowl to cover the fish completely with seasoned flour.
Remove from flour and dip in the milk/egg mixture.
Remove and dip fillets again in the cornflake crumbs and cover fish well.
Shake off excess crumbs and place in the deep fryer and cook at 375° F to 400° F for approximately 3 to 4 minutes depending upon the size of the fillets.
Remove from fryer and lay fish on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Enjoy Mon Ami!
