B Smiths Cornmeal Dipped Pan Fried Whiting Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, add flour, cornmeal, cayenne and sugar and mix together. Whisk in cold beer and honey until well incorporated and free of lumps.
• Preheat deep-fryer to 375 degrees F. with peanut oil.
• Season cod with salt and pepper and dredge in batter. Allow excess batter to drip off and place gently into the deep-fryer. Fry for 6 to 8 minutes until golden, crisp and delicious. Drain on paper towels. Place cod on a large serving platter or individual places and serve with Tartar Sauce.
• In a small bowl, mix all ingredients together.

Steps:

• Cook milk, cornmeal, butter or margarine, sugar, and salt in medium saucepan until slightly thickened. Add 1/2 cup water and mix well. Set aside to cool. Soften active dry yeast in warm water (110 degrees F). Combine cornmeal mixture, yeast, and 2 well-beaten eggs. Add enough flour to make a soft dough. Place in greased bowl, turning once to grease surface and cover. When dough has doubled in size, cut and shape dough into dinner rolls. Let rise in warm place, about 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Bake rolls for 12 to 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Clean and fillet fish. Remove heads and tails. In bowl, mix 3/4 cup oil, lemon juice, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper. Dredge fish in flour. In large saute pan, heat remaining oil. Saute fish until golden brown. Remove and pour lemon mixture over and cover. Let sit for 5 minutes and serve.

Steps:

• In shallow dish mix panko bread crumbs and seasonings together. In other shallow dish whisk eggs and Crystal hot sauce. Dip fish in eggs turning fish over and over 3 times. Then dip fish in panko bread crumbs turning twice and patting the bread crumbs into each fillet. Sit on a plate. Once all fish are breaded cover with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator for 15 minutes.
• Heat oil/butter over high heat until bubbling (approx 1 1/2 - 2 minutes). Add half the fillets and turn to medium high heat. Cook fish 3 1/2 - 4 minutes per side making sure it turns a nice golden brown color.
• Remove from pan and place on paper towel covered plate to drain. Serve with condiment of your choice. We prefer my Sweet Dilly Tartar Sauce recipe # 516674.

Steps:

• 1. If possible, buy your whiting fresh from the seafood market and have them fillet the fish. I wash the whiting quickly in vinegar, than rinse with cold water and pat dry. Place whiting in a flat container and sprinkle with pepper and a little salt. Set aside in fridge while you make the breading.
• 2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn meal, flour, black pepper, cayenne pepper, salt and garlic powder.
• 3. Heat a large skillet with oil on the stove. Make sure the oil is at high temp but not smoking.
• 4. Take the whiting fillets and dredge them in the flour one at a time and shake off excess. Place the whiting in the skillet. Cook each side until golden brown (about 5 minutes each side). Fish will "float" when done. Drain on paper towel.
• 5. You can also throw in some scallops or shrimp(pictured with the fish) following the same directions for the whiting. Enjoy delicious fried whiting!
