It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

Enjoy a southern comfort classic no matter where you live. Milk and egg batter with a cornflake crust keeps it simple, just the way it should be.
serves/makes:
ready in:
2-5 hrs
2-5 hrs
ingredients
1 pound white fish filets, such as perch, haddock, flounder, or cod, cut into serving pieces
1 egg, beaten
1 cup milk
salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup finely crushed cornflake crumbs
1 cup corn or other cooking oil
directions
Combine the beaten egg and milk along with a pinch each of salt and pepper in a zip-top plastic bag. Add the fish and seal the bag. Let the fish soak in the milk mixture for 2-8 hours.
When ready to cook the fish, place the cornflake crumbs in another zip-top plastic bag. Remove the fish from the milk mixture, letting any excess drip off. Add the fish a few pieces at a time to the bag with the crumbs and shake in the crumb mixture until completely coated. Repeat with the remaining fillets.
Heat the oil in a deep skillet to 375 degrees F over medium-high heat. Add the fish, in batches if needed, and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.
Remove the fish to paper toweling to drain.
Serve hot with lemon slices and tartar sauce, if desired.

Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
