FRIED FISH FILETS - CATFISH, TALAPIA



Fried Fish Filets - Catfish, Talapia image

I worked at a hospital for years and the cafeteria served crispy fried catfish nearly every Friday. I asked the manager for the recipe.. She just gave me the basics.... cornmeal, flour, salt, black pepper and paprika...dip in milk and deep fry. The breading is what makes it taste so good.
