In this week’s Meat Tip Monday, we will be focusing on three different ways to fry fish! Want to try one of these cooking methods? Stop by The Meat Market or Local Source Foods to pick up some fish fillets!

Pan-Fried Fish

First, you want to prep your fillets by drying them off with paper towels. This will make it so the coating will stick to the fish better. Next, make your coating by combining 1 beaten egg and 2 tablespoons of water or milk. In another bowl combine 2/3 cup of cornmeal or dry bread crumbs and 1/2 teaspoon salt and some black pepper. make sure to keep the wet mixture and the dry mixture separate. Now heat up your pan to medium-high heat. Once your pan is fully heated up put some vegetable oil in the pan. Next, take your fillets dip both sides into the egg mixture and then the dry mixture making sure to coat both sides of the fillet. Now add the coated fillets to the pan and fry until the fish is golden on the bottom; this typically takes about 3-4 minutes per side. After both sides are a nice golden brown, put the fillets on some paper towel to soak any excess oil.

Deep-Fried Fish

First, you want to prep your fillets by drying them off with paper towels. This will make it so the coating will stick to the fish better. Next, make your coating by combining 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 cup beer, 1 egg, and 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda, salt, and pepper. In another bowl just add 1/2 cup of flour. Next, dip the fillets into the flour, making sure to coat both sides fully. Make sure to shake off any excess flour. Next, dip the fillets into the flour/egg mixture coating all sides. Now that your fillets are coated place two or three fillets at a time into the deep fryer turning them once over the course of 3-4 minutes. After 3-4 minutes take the fish out and place them on a baking rack.

Air-Fried Fish

This is by far the easiest way to fry fish! First, you want to prep your fillets by drying them off with paper towels. This will make it so the coating will stick to the fish better. Next, make your coating by combining 1 beaten egg, and 2 tablespoons of water or milk. In another bowl just add 1/2 cup of flour. In a final bowl add 1/3 cup panko bread crumbs. Next, dip the fillets into the flour making sure to coat both sides fully. Make sure to shake off any excess flour. Next, dip the fillets into the egg mixture coating all sides. Finally, sprinkle the panko crumbs over the fish pressing down to make sure they stick well. Now spray the air fryer basket with nonstick spray heat up your air fryer to 400°F and cook for about 8 minutes.
