- 2 cups vegetable oil
- 1 medium red onion

Cut the fish into 2-inch pieces. Pat all seafood dry with paper towels. Set up a dredging station: 1 cup flour in one bowl, 2 beaten eggs in another.

Heat 2 cups vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high until a pinch of flour sizzles immediately, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, dip seafood pieces in egg, then coat in flour, shaking off excess.
