Deliciously Crispy Fish

This recipe utilizes Zatarain’s Crispy Southern Fish Fri, which adds a mouthwatering crunch to your fish, ensuring each bite is packed with incredible flavor. Here’s a look at the main ingredient that will make your dish shine!

Ingredients

1 package of Zatarain’s Crispy Southern Fish Fri Seafood Breading Mix (10 oz)
4 pieces of fish fillets (catfish, tilapia, or your choice)
1 cup of buttermilk
Cooking oil for frying
Lemon wedges for serving
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Begin by marinating the fish fillets in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes. This will help tenderize the fish and keep it moist.
After the fish has soaked, remove it from the buttermilk and allow any excess to drip off. Season the fillets with salt and pepper to taste.
Pour the Zatarain’s Crispy Southern Fish Fri Seafood Breading Mix into a shallow dish. Dredge each fish fillet in the mix, ensuring it is evenly coated on all sides.
In a large skillet, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the coated fish fillets in the skillet. Fry them in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Cook each side for 3–4 minutes, or until the fish is golden brown and crispy. Use a spatula to flip the fillets gently.
Once cooked, remove the fish from the pan and let them drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve the crispy fish with fresh lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor. This pairs well with a side of coleslaw or a fresh garden salad for a complete meal.

Enjoy your homemade crispy fish that is sure to be a hit at any gathering. With the perfect balance of flavor and crunch, this dish showcases the convenience and deliciousness of Zatarain’s Seafood Breading Mix. Happy cooking!
