Ingredients:

• 4 fish fillets (cod, haddock, or tilapia work well)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup cornmeal
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
• Salt and pepper to season
• 1 cup buttermilk
• Vegetable oil for frying
• Lemon wedges and fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prep the Fish

Begin by rinsing the fish fillets and patting them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper. If the fillets are large, you can cut them into smaller, manageable pieces.

2. Create the Coating

In a shallow dish, combine the flour, cornmeal, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and additional salt and pepper to taste. This mixture is the key to creating that crispy and flavorful coating for your fish.

3. Dip and Coat

Pour the buttermilk into another shallow dish. Dip each fish fillet into the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, coat the fillets generously with the seasoned flour and cornmeal mixture, ensuring an even covering.

4. Heat the Oil

In a large, deep frying pan, pour enough vegetable oil to submerge the fish fillets completely. Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C). A candy or deep-fry thermometer can be a handy tool for this step.

5. Fry to Perfection

Carefully place a few fillets into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the fish for about 5-7 minutes per side or until they are beautifully golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove any excess oil.

6. Serve with Flair

To serve your Crispy Fried Fish with flair, arrange the golden fillets on a platter. Garnish with lemon wedges for a zesty touch and a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a burst of color. Some people enjoy tartar sauce or hot sauce as dipping options.

Tips for Success

• Ensure the oil is at the right temperature before frying; this helps the fish turn out crispy, not oily.
• Don't overcrowd the pan while frying; a few fillets at a time ensure even cooking.
• Use a slotted spoon or a spider strainer to remove the fish from the hot oil, allowing any excess oil to drain.
• The choice of fish may vary based on your preference, but white fish fillets work well for a delicate flavor.
