Breading For Fresh Fish

This recipe is one that my mother-in-law taught me when I first married into the family. Before I met my husband, I didn't eat fish.....at all. Now, I have no choice. He's a huge fisherman, and there's always fish in our freezer. I have to admit, there isn't much that tastes better than fresh perch or walleye deep-fried, cole slaw, potatoes, and buttered bread!

Make sure all the bones are cut out of the fillets. I hate eating around fish bones!

Break two eggs in a bowl and beat lightly.

Put some flour on a plate.

Crush a package of saltine crackers and place on another plate.

Coat fillets in flour. Dip fillets in beaten egg. Cover both sides of fillet with crushed crackers. Deep fry immediately until fish is done and flaky.

You can add whatever spices you think you might like to the flour to enhance the flavor, but the plain version is very delicious!

Serve tartar sauce on the side.
