- 3 lbs fresh or thawed fish fillets or small pan fish
- 1 cup yellow Aunt Jemima corn meal
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red peppers
- 1/2 teaspoon celery salt
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon lemon and pepper seasoning
- 1 cup buttermilk
- vegetable oil
- Louisiana hot sauce
Cut fillets into serving portions. In a shallow dish, combine cornmeal, flour, and seasonings. Blend well. Dip fish in buttermilk, then dredge in the cornmeal mixture to coat well. In a large skillet, heat oil to 375 degrees. Fry fish 4 to 5 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, turning to brown on both sides. If you have a deep fryer, the fish should sink to the bottom and float to the top when cooked. Drain on paper towels. Serve with hot sauce.
