Pan Fried Fish Fillets

I was hungry for fish the other day and asked Dad to get whatever he could find even if it was frozen fish fillets. He got flounder and this is how we cooked it. It was delicious.

First set up a breading station:

1) a plate of seasoned (salt and pepper) flour

2) a dish with about 3 beaten eggs and 2 Tbsp. water

3) Panko (Japanese bread crumbs) and Old Bay Seasoning

Dip fillets in flour, then egg, then bread crumbs. Heat about 1/4 inch oil in a large skillet and cook fillets about 1-2 minutes a side. The flounder needed to be cooked very quickly or it got mushy. But it worked well when done quickly. This is the same way we do popcorn shrimp, except we deep fry it.

Tartar Sauce

1/2 cup mayonaise

1 Tbsp chopped onion

1 Tbsp dill pickle chopped or dill relish

1 tsp chopped capers (optional, but really adds flavor)

1 tsp lemon juice

Mix all ingredients and serve with fish

We had hash browns, and corn with the fish.
