Delicious Fried Fish Made with Wild-Caught Cod
Ingredients
- 14-16 ounces Cod fillets cut into cubes
- 1 egg mixed with 2 tablespoons water
- 3/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- Avocado oil for frying
Instructions
- Mix flour and seasonings in a flat dish such as a pie plate.
- Add and heat avocado oil (about 1/2 an inch deep) in cast iron skillet to between 350-375 degrees (you can use a meat thermometer.)
- Dip cubed fish into egg mixture, then into flour mixture, carefully place in oil without crowding the pan. (I like to leave about an inch between pieces.)
- Fry, turning only once until even browned, about 2-5 minutes depending on the thickness of your filets. (Use meat thermometer to check internal temperature to be 145 degrees Fahrenheit)
- Drain on a mesh screen (or paper towels if you use them).
Notes
Enjoy with your favorite potatoes, coleslaw, on top of a salad, or in a French bread or baguette as a fish sandwich - makes a delicious filling for a Po'Boy!
