Fish fillets are fried in oil until they are crispy and golden brown on the outside, while remaining tender and flaky on the inside. The most common type of fish used for French fried fish is cod, although other types such as haddock or tilapia can also be used.

ingredients

oil
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup flour
1 tablespoon salt
2 pounds fish fillets, cut in serving pieces if needed

directions

Heat oil in a deep fryer or Dutch oven to 380 degrees F.

Combine the cornmeal, flour, and salt in a shallow dish.

Dip the fish fillets in cold water, letting any excess drip off. Then, dredge the fish in the cornmeal mixture until completely coated on all sides.

Add the fish to the hot oil, in batches, and cook for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the oil and let drain on paper toweling.

Serve hot with lemon wedges and tartar sauce, if desired.
