Fried Fish Fillet

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb white fish fillets
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• ½ cup vegetable oil

Instructions

1. 1

   Pat the 1.5 lb fish fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with 1 tsp salt and 0.5 tsp black pepper.

2. 2

   Set up a breading station: place 0.5 cup flour in one shallow dish, beat 2 eggs in a second, and put 1 cup breadcrumbs in a third.

3. 3

   Dredge each fillet in the flour, shaking off excess, then dip in the egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

4. 4

   Heat 0.5 cup vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 2 minutes.

5. 5

   Fry the fillets in a single layer without crowding, cooking until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. The fish should flake easily with a fork.

6. 6

   Transfer the fried fillets to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with lemon wedges or tartar sauce if desired.
