To fry tilapia, heat oil in a pan to 350°F (175°C). Season thawed fish with salt and pepper. Dredge in fish fry mixture. Fry fillets for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels. Serve hot with lemon wedges for a crunchy, tasty meal ready in about 20 minutes. Enjoy!
Coat each fillet evenly in the fish fry mix. This gives the fish a golden, crispy crust when cooked. Heat a generous amount of oil in a skillet over medium heat. The temperature is crucial for achieving a perfect fry. Place the coated tilapia in the hot oil, cooking each side for about three to four minutes. The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork and has a beautiful golden-brown appearance.
This method of frying tilapia not only enhances the fish’s natural taste but also creates a satisfying crunch. Now, let’s explore how to serve this delightful dish to maximize flavors and enjoyment.
