Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • WET COATING
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • FOR SEASONING THE FISH
  • Creole seasoning (Tony Chachere's Creole seasoning, use enough to generously coat the fish)
  • DRY COATING -- seasonings may be adjusted to taste
  • 1 cup corn flour
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (white)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon celery seed
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons Creole seasoning (or more to taste)
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: In a large bowl whisk the wet ingredients together until well combined; add fillets and allow to soak for a few hours in refrigerator (turning frequently) in the mixture - this will remove any strong fish flavor.

  • Step 2: In a shallow bowl combine all dry ingredients.

  • Step 3: Remove the fillets from the milk mixture allowing excess to drip off. Season the fillets with Creole seasoning then allow to sit on a plate for 10 minutes.

  • Step 4: After 10 minutes coat fillets in dry batter. Place on a rack and allow to sit for 20 minutes then coat again in the dry mix.

  • Step 5: Heat oil in a cast-iron skillet until hot. Fry fish until cooked through.
