Mix salt and Black pepper with ground Corn Meal.
Take a moist Fillet and cover with this mixture, pick up with a fork and let excess corn meal fall off, drop in 2-3 inches of hot oil 400 deg F - 450 deg F. Fry till they are the color of Gold.
Tarter Sauce optional.
Very Simple Very Good.

Glad you liked it. I like complicated recipes also but that is the way I grew up eating fish and I keep going back time and again.

Hi Quetzal,

You could call that recipe "South Carolina fried fish" My family's also from SC and that is the same recipe I use, can't beat simple. It is truly fantastic on fresh grouper.

i fry my fish in cornmeal as well.. what also makes it nice.. if you want it spicier..(i'm half cuban so spicy is like the way to go for me).. is to marinate it in a hotsauce first.. then without drying it off i coat it in the cornmeal. i generally use frank's red hot sauce because it tastes good along with being spicy, but i'm assuming anything would work.

it doesn't get TREMENDOUSLY super fire hot.. more like buffalo fish. spicy but definitely tolerable..

try it
