  • 1 large egg
  • 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup yellow cornmeal

  • 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
  • vegetable oil for frying
Instructions:
  • Season the fillets generously with salt and pepper, then coat them with a light dusting of 1/3 cup of flour.
  • Whisk buttermilk and egg in a bowl until blended. In a separate bowl, mix 1/2 cup flour with cornmeal, seafood seasoning, baking powder, and baking soda. Coat fillets in flour, dip them in the egg mixture, and then coat them with the seasoned flour mixture.
  • In a large frying pan or deep fryer, heat oil to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
