Fried fish question

i saw a recipe that after you clean the fish with lime juice then dry with a napkin. put you seasonings on it and let it set. then you fry it.

Yes it does fry well. It is one of the few fish I actually like and my favorite way to have it is to coat it it fine corn flour (looks like corn mile but milled finer) that is mixed with a little paprika, salt and pepper. It fries up really well. There is a product called Louisianan Fish Fry that is a pre mixed version of what I just described. They also have one that has a lemon flavor that is really good.

that is one of my fave fish and i dont want it fillet or even fried crisp...esp fro the big ones i love it when it is cooked just fine with still juicy when you eat it...i also like to eat it hot from the pan not cold...it taste good with smoke going out from its meat hehehe. just love it!!!

Hi, I enjoy deep-fried tilapia. I can't cook this dish, but we have it in the restaurants and food-stores, and it's very good! They would deep-fry the whole fish, add in light soya sauce and sliced chillies, browned sliced garlic and onions.

Tilapia is a good fish to fry. I have always liked fishing, I grew up fishing, since there is a huge lake in the back of my moms' house. We would spend all our summers and most weekends back there. Anyways, you might want to try something like cornmeal to fry this type of fishy. It's just like making fried chicken except with fish. You can also use flour but, I don't recommend it because flour burns faster. You can make fish bits or nuggets as we call them just by cutting your fillet into chunks, and I think it's easier to cut if it's thawed and fresh.
