Panfried Fish

  • Prep 10 min
  • Total 30 min
  • Servings 6

Ingredients

  • Vegetable oil or shortening
  • 1 1/2 lb skinless perch, snapper or other medium-firm fish fillets, 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour, cornmeal or dry bread crumbs

Steps

  • 1
    In 10-inch skillet, heat oil (1/8 inch) over medium heat. Cut fish into 6 serving pieces. Sprinkle both sides of fish with salt and pepper.
  • 2
    In small bowl, beat egg and water with fork or wire whisk until blended. Place flour in shallow dish. Dip fish into egg, then coat with flour.
  • 3
    Fry batches of fish in oil 6 to 10 minutes, turning once, until fish flakes easily with fork and is brown on both sides. (Fish cooks very quickly, especially the thinner tail sections; be careful not to overcook.) Remove with slotted spoon; drain on paper towels.

  • To keep the first batch of fried fish hot while frying the rest, place fish on a heatproof serving platter. Keep warm in a 250°F oven until ready to serve.
