Basic Fish Fry
Basic Fish Fry is If you have pepper, haddock fillets, olive oil, and a few other ingredients on hand, you can make it. To use up the olive oil you could follow this main course with the Sauteed Banana, Granolan and Yogurt Parfait as a dessert.
Instructions
In one pie plate, combine the milk and pepper; this is your 'wet' mix.In another pie plate, combine the flour, cornmeal and paprika; this is your 'dry' mix.In an electric skillet, heat the oil to 350F.Dip fish into the 'wet' mix, then roll in the 'dry' mix to cover completely.Fry the fish filets, a few at a time, in the hot oil for approx 4 min or less per side, until the fish is nicely browned and serve.Don't fry them all at the same time or you'll cool down the oil too much and it will have to heat back up to temperature (NOT a good thing).If frying in a dutch oven, use a meat thermometer to check your oil temperature, before you fry.If using a deep fryer machine, please follow your manufacturer's instructions/booklet.Substitutions: if haddock isn't available, substitute hake, pollock, flounder, tilapia or cod instead; you can also use the SKIM version of evaporated milk.
