Ingredients
Method
- Make sure that the fish is nice and clean before anything else, then set it to the side.
- In a large bowl add the self-rising flour, cornmeal, and cajun seasoning. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl beat the two eggs, then add in the hot sauce, and mix.
- Next, add the fish into the bowl with the hot sauce & egg mixture.
- Make sure that the fish is nicely coated with the wet mixture, then coat with the flour mixture.
- Once all of the fish is coated, let it sit for about 5 minutes so that the cornmeal & flour mixture can stick well.
- Heat the oil between 350 – 375 F.
- Once the oil is nice and hot, carefully add the fish into the skillet or deep fryer, but do not overcrowd.
- Fry the fish until golden brown, then remove from the oil, and set on a paper towel-lined plate or cookie sheet.
- Let sit until it’s cool enough to eat.
- Serve and Enjoy!
