Double Crunch Cajun Bluegill image

My husband loves to fish and now that he is retired I think we are going to have a lot more fish for dinner. I come up with this recipe and it's delicious. It is so crispy with a little kick to it. The fish inside remains moist and flaky. I can't wait until he goes fishing again. I want more.

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 large bluegill fillets
3 large eggs beaten
2 Tbsp heavy cream
1 1/2 Tbsp cajun seasoning
2 c panko bread crumbs
salt and pepper
1/2 c oil or enough to cover half way up fillets

Steps:

  • 1. Salt and pepper the bluegill fillets.
  • 2. Beat the egg with the cream and cajun seasoning. Place in a shallow dish. Pour the panko in another shallow dish.
  • 3. Dredge each fillet in egg mixture then panko then back into egg mixture and finish in panko pressing to keep panko on the fillet rather thick.
  • 4. Place a skillet over high heat and get it hot. Add oil to come cover half way up each fillet. Fry the fish in batches without crowding the pan. Flip to brown on both sides. Only takes a couple of minutes depending on the thickness of you fish.
