Hello and welcome to Momma Gert's Place.
This month I would like to favor you with a few recipes to kick autumn off with. There is nothing like a good fish fry when the weather cools down a bit in the month of October. I have included recipes for Spicy Pan Fried Fish, Garlic Bread, and a wonderful Spaghetti Sauce that would win any competition.
I hope you enjoy!
3 lbs fresh or thawed fish fillets or small pan fish
1 cup yellow Aunt Jemima corn meal
1/2 cup flour
1 1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon crushed red peppers
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon lemon and pepper seasoning
1 cup buttermilk
vegetable oil
Louisiana hot sauce
Cut fillets into serving portions. In a shallow dish, combine cornmeal, flour, and seasonings. Blend well. Dip fish in buttermilk, then dredge in the cornmeal mixture to coat well. In a large skillet, heat oil to 375 degrees. Fry fish 4 to 5 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, turning to brown on both sides. If you have a deep fryer, the fish should sink to the bottom and float to the top when cooked. Drain on paper towels. Serve with hot sauce.
