FRIED PERCH RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oil in the fryer to 375°. Line a plate or platter with wax paper then set aside. This same plate will be lined with paper towel for the fried fish.
• If the fish filets are connected like a 'butterfly', cut in half so you have two filets then rinse and dry fish using a paper towel.
• Prepare a breading station: Bowl #1 whisk the egg and water together. Bowl #2: add the cracker meal.
• Working with one filet at a time, dip in the egg wash letting any excess drip back into the bowl then dredge lightly in the cracker meal then set on a plate repeating until all the fish is coated.
• Gently place the fish in the preheated oil adding as many as the fryer will hold. Cook 2-3 minutes watching closely until the desired golden color.
• As you remove the fish from the deep fryer, let the oil drain in the basket for a couple of seconds then transfer to the paper towel lined plate and serve right away.
