Pan Fried Fish Coated In Egg And Flour BatterThis delicious fish is first dipped in egg, then coated in flour, and then pan-fried! Fish and chips, anyone?

• 1 lb fish fillets
• 1 egg
• 1 cup flour
• 2 tbsp oil
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper

• In a bowl, whisk the egg. Put the flour on a large plate.
• Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat.
• Dip each fish fillet in the egg on both sides, then put the fish fillet on the plate with flour. The flour will stick to one side of the fish, then flip the fish so the flour sticks to the other side of the fish.
• Put the fish coated with egg and flour on the frying pan. Sprinkle the fish with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp pepper. Cook for 4 minutes, then flip the fish to the other side. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp of pepper. Cook for another 4 minutes, then remove from heat and serve.

I have been sharing daily soul food recipes on my Twitter and Facebook pages for Black History Month. That is how I realized I was missing a fried fish recipe on my site. To remedy that, I’m sharing my recipe for crispy pan fried fish without eggs.

The best fried fish that I remember tasting recently was actually from a restaurant, Rockaway Fish House. I had two questions so I called and asked them…

*Some people use an egg wash for a thicker coating on their fried foods -including fried chicken and fish. You can, but I don’t. (If you want to do so, you can dip the fish in a mixture of 1/2 cup milk and 1 lightly beaten egg before placing it in the cornmeal/flour mixture.)

If I make something though, I want to make the best version that I can. “Success leaves clues” is one of my favorite quotes that I apply to practically every area of my life – including cooking.

With those two answers, I was easily able to make my version of Southern Crispy Pan Fried Fish.
