The Best Fish Fry Recipe Ever
Look no further. This is it.
I’ve been on the hunt for a works-for-everything fish fry and breading recipe for a while, and I finally found it in some guy’s YouTube video. I have no idea who he is, but I’m confident saying that he deserves a culinary Nobel Prize.
It’s super easy and super fantastic, and I’m primarily posting it here so I can find it easily the next time I need it.
It worked with catfish and tilapia, which are what I used tonight. There was absolutely zero fishy taste. None. I’m still beside myself. Lyla helped make it and even ate a respectable amount.
The breading measurements are rough estimates.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 2-3 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 2-3 tablespoons Lawry’s seasoned salt
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon paprika
Instructions:
- Mix the breading ingredients together in a bowl.
- Scramble a few eggs in a separate bowl.
- Dunk the fillet or nugget into the egg wash.
- Toss the egg-coated fish into the breading bowl and coat well.
- Heat frying oil to 350–375°F and add the appropriate number of fillets or nuggets. Don’t overcrowd the pan.
- Fry until golden brown and buoyant (about 3–5 minutes).
- Eat them all.
