Kiss Keeping It Super Simple Fried Fish Food

FRIED FISH

Steps:

• Combine flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, Old Bay, salt, and pepper. Add beer and stir. Let rest for 10 minutes. Dredge fish through mixture.
• Preheat a deep-fryer or a deep pot filled halfway with oil to 350 degrees F. Gently immerse the fish in the oil, making sure it is fully submerged and deep-fry until it is golden brown and cooked through, about 4 minutes, turning to ensure even browning.

EASY FRIED FISH

Steps:

• 1. Thourgly clean fish and cut into serving-size pieces. In a medium bowl, combine beaten egg & milk. Place crushed cornflakes in a separate bowl or platter.
• 2. Dip fish into the egg mixture, and then coat with the crushed corn flakes on both sides.
• 3. In a large skillet(preferably cast iron) over high heat, add 1 inch cooking oil. When oil is hot, fry the pieces of coated fish until it is lightly browned on both sides. Serve while still hot. If desired serve with lemon wedges or optional seafood sauce, or tarter sauce.

EASY LIGHTLY FRIED FISH - THYME AND SPICES - MEDITERRANEAN

Steps:

• thaw the fish if frozen - rinse it under water and pat dry if you wish.
• preheat about an inch of oil in a pan.
• cut the fillets into smaller pieces if you want.
• crack the egg into a shallow bowl and beat - add a pinch of salt and pepper.
• prepare the spiced fish fry coating - mix roughly 50:50 flour:spices. I suggest adding a fair amount of salt and pepper, and also chili powder if you like it hot. ANY COMBO OF SPICES WORK, be liberal. MIX UNTIL HOMOGENOUS.
• dip the fish in egg - let the extra egg drip off (tap against the side of bowl).
• coat both sides of the egged up fish in the frying coating.
• carefully (hot oil is dangerous!) fry both sides of the fish in the oil until golden brown on both sides, and the inside of the fish is flaky and white.
• dry on paper towels lined with a bed of thyme.
• garnish with lemon wedges and thyme sprigs (optional).
