Recipe Summary Deep-Fried Tilapia
In Wisconsin, the "Friday Fish Fry" is a time-honored tradition. This deep-fried tilapia is my family's way of bringing it home.Ingredients | Best Old Fashioned Recipe Reddit
10 (4 ounce) fillets tilapia
salt and ground black pepper to taste
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
1 cup buttermilk
1 egg
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup yellow cornmeal
2 tablespoons seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
vegetable oil for frying
Directions
Season fillets with salt and pepper. Dust with 1/3 cup of flour.
Beat buttermilk and egg in a bowl. Combine remaining flour, cornmeal, seafood seasoning, baking powder, and baking soda in another bowl. Dip all flour-dusted fillets into egg mixture, then into seasoned flour mixture.
Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large frying pan or deep fryer. Fry fillets, working in batches if needed, until golden, about 2 minutes on each side. Season again with salt as soon as your take them out of the pan or fryer.
Fillets can also be cut into nugget-size pieces for kids.
We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. Amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and specific type of oil used.
