Fried Fish Pieces

Ingredients

• 1 lb white fish fillets
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 1 lemon lemon wedges

Instructions

1. 1

   Cut the 1 lb fish fillets into 2-inch pieces and pat dry with paper towels.

2. 2

   In a shallow bowl, mix 1 cup flour, 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp black pepper.

3. 3

   Beat 1 egg in another shallow bowl. Dip each fish piece into the egg, then coat with the flour mixture, shaking off excess.

4. 4

   Heat 1 cup oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 2 minutes. Test with a pinch of flour—it should sizzle.

5. 5

   Fry the fish in batches without crowding, turning once, until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side.

6. 6

   Transfer fried fish to a paper-towel-lined plate. Serve hot with lemon wedges.

7. 7

   Squeeze lemon over the fish before eating, if desired.
