I am a lucky dad. Early on, my kids love fresh fish. Whether we catch them, or buy them from the market, they absolutely love a good fish fry. What makes cooking with your kids so valuable is it extends their palette. By introducing them to foods as early as possible, they become adventuresome and want to try new foods.This is a basic recipe for new cooks. Easy to make, and soooo good.
Ingredients
Fresh Haddock Filet(s)
Italian Bread Crumbs (1 cup)
Flour (1 cup)
Panko (1/2 Cup)
Cracked Pepper (1 tsp)
Cracked Salt (2 tsp)
Soul Seasoning (1 tsp)
2 eggs with milk whipped
Cooking Oil (1/8 - 1/4 inch to cover the skillet or fry pan)
Ice Water in a bowl
Prior to getting all the prep work done, rinse the fillets and keep them in a bowl of ice water until ready to fry. Next, you will want a mid size bowl for the egg mixture and a large size bowl for the breading mixture.
Preparation for the breading is to add all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Set aside and setup by the stove egg mixture bowl for dipping, the breading, then the fry pan.
Prep the fry pan at a medium heat.
Once ready, dip the filet in the egg mixture, then the breading on both sides, and set in the fry pan. On a medium heat, each fillet should be ready to a golden brown about 5 minutes on both sides. Periodically peek prior to flipping the filet. Flip the filet carefully to avoiding breaking it. Cooking on the skin side first also allows for firmness and prevents the filet from breaking.
Serve on a plate with some kettle chips or fries with a lemon wedge. You have one great fish fry.
Some additional ideas for the breading are kettle chips in a sandwich back pounced to the consistency of Panco. Sea Salt and Vinegar would give it a nice flavor. You can change the breading each time you make it by trying different mixtures.
