A friend at work shared some of his fresh catch prepared in this simple way, recalls Bruce Headley, Greenwood, Missouri. After one bite, I knew it was the best fried fish I'd ever tasted. Whenever I catch bass, crappie or bluegill, my wife uses this recipe. The fillets come out moist and not fishy-tasting. Our family won't eat fish any other way. Ingredients:
2 eggs |
1 to 2 teaspoons lemon-pepper seasoning, divided |
6 bluegill or perch fillets (2 to 3 ounces each) |
1 cup crushed saltines (about 30 crackers) |
vegetable oil |
Directions:
1. In a shallow bowl, beat eggs and 2 teaspoon lemon-pepper. Dip fillets in egg mixture, then coat with cracker crumbs. Sprinkle with remaining lemon-pepper. In a skillet, heat 1/4 in. of oil. Fry fillets for 3-4 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Yield: 3 servings.
