Fried Tilapia Fish

Check out the related video story: Brad Can Cook
Place 3 teenagers in a small kitchen, one being the cook—add a dash of understatement; a measure of serious resolve; 2 cups sass and good natured razz, and you get: Brad Can Cook.

Ingredients

  • 4-6 Tilapia fillets
  • 2 eggs, beaten

Breading:

  • 1 cup flour
  • ½ cup cornmeal
  • 3 Tablespoons onion powder
  • 2 Tablespoons garlic powder
  • 1 Tablespoon dried parsley
  • 1 Tablespoon Italian seasonings
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 3 teaspoons black pepper

Instructions

  1. Wash each of the fillets, set aside.
  2. Mix together the breading ingredients, place in medium shallow dish.
  3. Heat oil in fry pan on medium heat.
  4. Beat eggs in bowl.
  5. Dip each fillet (both sides), one at a time, in egg wash.
  6. Carry over to breading dish, and dip each side in flour mixture. Make sure the breading covers the fish completely.
  7. Check to make sure the oil is hot enough for frying (remember wooden spoon trick).
  8. Fry Tilapia for 3-5 minutes on each side, depending on thickness.

I like to use 2 spatulas when I flip them over. Less chance of them falling apart.

Yield: Serves 4 people
