Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 3 pound(s) whiting, fresh fillet
  • 1 cup(s) organic corn meal
  • 2 tablespoon(s) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoon(s) black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon(s) cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon(s) salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon(s) garlic powder
  • - oil for frying

Instruction

  • If possible, buy your whiting fresh from the seafood market and have them fillet the fish. I wash the whiting quickly in vinegar then rinse with cold water and pat dry. Place whiting in a flat container and sprinkle with pepper and a little salt. Set aside in the fridge while you make the breading.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn meal, flour, black pepper, cayenne pepper, salt, and garlic powder.
  • Heat a large skillet with oil on the stove. Make sure the oil is at high temp but not smoking.
  • Take the whiting fillets and dredge them in the flour, one at a time, and shake off excess.
  • Place the whiting in the skillet. Cook each side until golden brown (about 5 minutes on each side). Fish will "float" when done.
  • Drain on a paper towel.
  • You can also throw in some scallops or shrimp following the same directions for the whiting. Enjoy delicious fried whiting!
