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 made yourself)
2 – 3 Litre of canola or vegetable oil

Directions

1. Mix flour and seasoning and place in a shaker bag or breading bowl.

2. Whisk milk and eggs together and place in a dipping bowl. Place cornflake crumbs in a separate breading bowl.

3. 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.

4. Remove from flour and dip in the milk/egg mixture. Remove and dip fillets again in the cornflake crumbs and cover the fish well.

5. Shake off excess crumbs then 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.

6. Remove from the fryer and lay fish on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Enjoy Mon Ami!
