fried rockfish fillet

[William Novotny]

Well I thought I'd share a little recipe action with you guys. It took my awhile to get this right but now my pan fried filets come out perfectly every time.

Start off with freshly caught fish of your choice. I like rockfish or sculpin but any mild flavored white fish will do


Fillet fish, rinse with fresh water and pat dry with paper towel, place aside.



In a bowl beat 1 egg for every pound of fillet. Set aside



For a nice crispy breading I like to use cornbread stuffing mix, crushed down to a nice fine consistency. Spread on a plate and set aside




Then set up your station with your fish, a bowl of flour, your egg and stuffing crumbs



Salt and pepper fish to taste, dredge in flower, dip fillet in egg and completely coat in crumbs







Use about 2 tbsp of goid olive oil in a non stick pan. Too much oil and you get mushy breading. Heat on high then just before placing fish in the pan reduce heat to med/med high.



Cook on one side for approximately 3min give or take for size/thickness of fillet.



Flip fillet and finish off by browning the opposite side.



Fillet should turn out firm and crisp with an opaque center



I like to drizzle a bit of seasoned rice vinegar to taste.



Enjoy!

Nice, so what you trading for the eats? Still no blood on those decks!

No offense but that way of preparing fish is very "simple" and ordinary! Plus you burnt the bread crumbs. Might of tasted good but did not look so good.

Have you ever stopped and thought to yourself...."Hey! Today, I will not be a dick"

When I saw you had replied, I already knew you were going to have something negative and criticizing to say before I even read your post. You're always a debby downer, and have some .02 to put in that no one cares to hear. Just keep it to yourself and let people do their thing. You don't need to always put other people down. You might argue it's constructive criticism, but it's not. You're just being an ass.

Nice photo layout, that's putting rockfish to good use.

We love rockfish. Our last trip to LJ wasn't giving up any of the big name fish, but we made the most of it bringing home 7 rockfish and a sculpin. Ate the 2 reds that night-Tempura style in a wok. Delicious.

Your pics made me drool. I saw your haul on 9/1, nicely done.

Thanks for the write up. I'll try this next time. I usually just cook em in garlic butter over low heat.


The breadcrumb thing was a joke. No need to get your knickers in a knot.

Ummmm, I think its pretty clear my knickers stay unknotted. I could care less about other people's negative vibes. Im just doing what I love and sharing my experiences with others. And for the record, I don't consider a little charring "burnt" that's how my grandma's Southern style breaded pork chops came out and that's how I prefer anything pan fried. You can cook yours to your own liking.
