Time 20m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound whiting
6 cups corn, peanut or vegetable oil
1 cup flour
Salt to taste
Freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Rinse the whiting. Drain but do not pat dry.
  • Heat the oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees.
  • Season the flour with salt and pepper. Put the whiting in the flour, and stir so that each piece is liberally coated. Shake off excess flour. Drop a third of the whiting into the oil, and cook about 5 minutes, until the fish is crisp. Drain on paper towels.
  • Repeat with the remaining whiting.
  • Serve with lemon wedges or lemon halves.
