Deep Fat Fried Fish or Seafood

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds fish fillets or desired seafood such as shrimp, etc.
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1 cup desired breading
  • Note: if using a batter dredge the fish in a dusting of flour to help the batter adhere to the fish or seafood

Instructions

  1. Sprinkle the fish with a bit of salt and pepper.
  2. Dip each fish fillet into the egg wash, then roll in the breading to coat well. Shake to remove excess.
  3. Place in a deep fat fryer or frying kettle with oil hot, set to 375 degrees F. The use of a thermometer is helpful. Fry until browned, and the fish tests done.
  4. If using a batter, dip the fish or seafood into the batter and lift out to drain excess batter. Fry until browned and the fish or seafood tests done.
  5. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate, and repeat until the rest of the fish or seafood is done.
  6. Serve hot.
