Ingredients

  • 1 lb white fish fillets
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp pickle relish
  • 1 cup vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut the 1 lb fish into 2-inch chunks and pat dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, whisk the 1 egg with 2 tbsp water. Place the 0.5 cup flour in another bowl. Dip each fish piece in flour, then egg, then flour again.

  3. 3

    Heat the 1 cup oil in a deep skillet over medium-high until a breadcrumb sizzles, about 350°F. Fry the fish in batches without crowding, turning once, until golden and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per batch.

  4. 4

    Mix the 0.25 cup mayonnaise with the 2 tbsp pickle relish to make the tartar sauce. Serve the hot fish with the sauce on the side.
