1 lb your favorite fresh fish filets (you can use flounder, white fish, perch or whatever you like. i used virginia mullet in the picture).
1/2 to 3/4 c buttermilk
1/2 c *self rising flour
1/2 c *self rising white cornmeal (not mix)
1/4 tsp old bay seasoning

*self rising flour and cornmeal seems to give a lighter coating and adheres well.

Steps:

  • 2. Mix together flour, cornmeal and seasonings. Remove fish from refrigerator. Shake off excess buttermilk. Roll fish in seasoned corn meal mixture.
