I love fish this way. Next to good ole' deep fried batter dipped, it is my fave way to eat fish. This is very simple to make and tastes delicious. Also, it is very versatile, you can serve with almost anything: salad, rice, potatoes, beans, whatever suits you!

  • cup all-purpose flour1⁄3
  • egg1
  • tablespoon water1
  • cup yellow cornmeal1
  • cup nuts, finely chopped (any kind will do, but I prefer either almonds or pecans)1⁄4
  • teaspoon salt1
  • teaspoon pepper1⁄4
  • teaspoon paprika1⁄4
  • teaspoon ground cumin1⁄4
  • vegetable oil (about 1 inch in a frying pan)

    One piece at a time, dip fish in egg and then place in bag and toss to coat.

    Heat veggie oil in frying pan over medium heat.

  6. 6

    Fry fish in oil, turning once, till both sides are brown (approx 10 minutes total).

    You can tell when the fish is done, because you can flake it with a fork.

  8. 8

    My hubby likes to sprinkle a little lemon or lime juice on his fish, but I like it just the way it is!
