Fried Tilapia

Last night I had a taste for a plate of pan-fried flounder. You know the type, thin, breaded, crispy with lots of remoulade on top. hmmm just typing this makes my mouth water.

But, the fish monger at Publix didn't have anygood looking flounder. So I settled instead for some Tilapia. Which is good in its own right for sure.

I ended up pan frying it also, lightly breaded in some canola oil/butter. It's an easy and quick fry. I cracked a couple of eggs in a shallow bowl, poured a bit of milk in there and whisked it together. Took another shallow bowl and filled it with homemade bread crumbs some spices/herbs out of the cabinet.

• 2 cups of bread crumbs
• 2 tblsp of Italian herbs mix
• 2 tsp salt
• 1 tblsp garlic powder
• 1 tblsp onion powder

Sprinkled some ground pepper on the fish, dipped it in the egg mix, then coated it in the bread and slid it gently into the pan of hot oil. Let it stay for about two minutes and then flipped it. Let it stay until brown and then off to a rack on some papertowels to wick away any oil waiting on the surface.

Cub really enjoyed the fish and ate a filet and half himself, Thumper preferred the rice. Along with this we also had a nice fresh garden salad and some really yummy baked Christmas rice.
