Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 lb whiting, fresh fillet
1 c organic corn meal
2 Tbsp flour
2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
oil for frying

Steps:

  • 1. If possible, buy your whiting fresh from the seafood market and have them fillet the fish. I wash the whiting quickly in vinegar, than rinse with cold water and pat dry. Place whiting in a flat container and sprinkle with pepper and a little salt. Set aside in fridge while you make the breading.
  • 2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn meal, flour, black pepper, cayenne pepper, salt and garlic powder.
  • 3. Heat a large skillet with oil on the stove. Make sure the oil is at high temp but not smoking.
  • 4. Take the whiting fillets and dredge them in the flour one at a time and shake off excess. Place the whiting in the skillet. Cook each side until golden brown (about 5 minutes each side). Fish will "float" when done. Drain on paper towel.
  • 5. You can also throw in some scallops or shrimp(pictured with the fish) following the same directions for the whiting. Enjoy delicious fried whiting!
