Instructions

  • Take a small bowl, add buttermilk, salt, pepper and water to it. Mix well, so all ingredients are blended. Take a flat pan to make fillets. On the bottom layer of the pan, layer the fish, and then turn to coat both sides. Put it aside to let it marinate.
  • Take out a plastic bag of volume 2 gallons, and then add in cornmeal, all-purpose flour, and seafood seasoning. Now, mix them well. Add fish to the prepared mixture. You should add a few fillets at a time. Now, gently coat the fish from all sides while tumbling.
