I have been told by many, many people that this is the BEST fried fish they have ever eaten. Try it out for yourself. It is messy and a lot of clean up, but it is worth it.
Ingredients:
- 2 C flour
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 C water
- 2 C Italian style breadcrumbs
- vegetable oil
- 4 filets of grouper (or other fish)
Instructions:
Cut grouper fillets into bite size pieces. Set aside. Pour flour onto a plate or other container to dredge fish in. Set aside. In a separate bowl crack 2 eggs and mix vigorously with water. Set aside. Pour breadcrumbs onto another plate or container to dredge fish in. Set aside. Take a large sauce pan and pour enough oil in to reach about 2 inches high. Put on stove over medium heat and warm up. While oil heats, dredge fish first into flour, then into egg mixture, and then into the breadcrumbs. Make sure that you shake off excess flour prior to dredging into the egg mixture. Set aside on clean plate. When oil is heated add fish to it.Fry until golden brown, about 3 minutes. You may need to turn once while they are in the pan frying. When done place on a plate lined with paper towels to soak up grease. Serve with lemon, cocktail sauce, or tarter sauce.
