Pan Fried Fish Fillets

Pan Fried Fish Fillets

 My good friend George gave me some fresh Crappie fillets from Lake Chautauqua. So I decided to make these Pan Fried Fish Fillets.

George is an avid fisherman, he fishes the lake, and Allegheny River all year long. These were caught while George and his son were ice fishing this year.

Crappie is a North American freshwater fish in the sunfish family. Crappies are known to be one of the best-tasting freshwater fish, because of their diet.

I would have normally broiled these fillets, but George suggested; trying them pan-fried. So here is how I pan-fried these fillets to perfection.

These fillets were very easy to make and so delicious, served with a wedge of lemon and rice to make a great meal. If you don't have a friend like George, just use your favorite fresh fish fillets.

Pan Fried Fish Fillets: Instructions
  1. Pour about 1/4 inch of oil into a 10 or 12-inch fry pan, and heat oil to 375 degrees on medium heat
  2. Mix 1 cup of McCormick batter with the water
  3. Once the oil is hot, dip the fillets and coat them with the batter
  4. Add them to the pan (I add 3 fillets at a time) 
  5. Fry for 3 to 5 minutes per side until fillets are golden brown.

  5. How did I miss this recipe. Looks delicious. I've often pan-fried my fish (I like catfish filets) using a tempera batter. Will have to give this fish 'n chips seafood batter a try. I LOVE fish cooked ALL ways, but especially fried. Although I did make a pretty delicious tilapia dish baked in lemon butter last week. :)
