Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup mayonnaise (preferably Duke's)
2 to 3 tablespoons chopped dill pickles
1 tablespoon capers
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill
1 teaspoon sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
6 whiting fillets
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
Vegetable oil, for frying
1 lemon, cut into wedges

Steps:

Make the tartar sauce: Mix the mayonnaise, pickles, capers, lemon juice, dill and sugar in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
Prepare the fish: Rinse the fish with cold water and pat dry lightly. Season with a little salt and pepper.
Whisk the cornmeal, flour and Cajun seasoning in a small bowl. Pour into a medium paper bag.
Add the fish to the bag a few pieces at a time and shake the bag to coat each piece evenly. Transfer the coated fish to a sheet of parchment paper.
Heat 1 1/2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep cast-iron skillet over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers about 375˚ F. Working in batches, add the fish fillets to the hot oil and fry until they start to float and turn golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
Remove the fried fillets to a rack set on a baking sheet to drain off any excess oil. Serve with the tartar sauce and lemon wedges.
